If this were mine, I'd remove the focus divider and tripler and replace both of them with an ECG526 or NTE526 tripler. The 526 tripler was used in later versions of this chassis and contains both the focus divider and HV tripler in a single package (it's also more reliable).
Is it easy to switch to the single unit? Are all the piece there and I just need to do a little soldering or something?
