Overall, I've had pretty good luck with them still being good. If they weren't so expensive I might be inclined to replace them more often.
I thought I traced the source of that squealing to this wire arcing to this resistor, but nope. After replacing it and touching up the solder joints in that area I can still get it to squeal if I position that HOT lead just right. Even so, it's easy enough to secure it such that there's no squeal so I'm calling it good enough unless someone has a suggestion.
After a long session of fighting with the trap magnet, focus coil and yoke, I got the picture centered and focus fairly well. Just in time to catch on of those butchered "Sixth Sense" Night Gallery episodes. They're actually not bad when seen in their original 50 minute run time.
There's a faint, bright vertical bar on the far right you can just make out in this shot. I've seen them on the left before, but not the right
I'll get a pattern generator hooked up and see if it goes away if I adjust the drive and linearity controls.
