just do the setup as defined in sams, check the voltages and post back the results if brightness is still an issue then need to look at the other voltages and try to figure out why, brightness should not be an issue with a good tube with correct HV and pin voltages.

Okay, I could not go the setup switch approach. The only G2 that put a line on the screen was the blue. The red and green wouldn't show. So I brought up a grayscale pattern and adjusted it that way. After doing that and adjusting the taps, the red voltage was 590V, blue was 550V and Green was 540V. The SM has the Green at 640V, Blue at 540V and Red at 590V. So other than the Green, the other two are pretty close.
Now I do have more brightness range, so that is good. As for the jail bars, they're still there. I changed the diode since I had to unsolder the existing to test. I didn't bother with the 100K resistors as I have the scope now and figured I'd try that before more part replacement.
