never trust old electrolytics , I was running the set figured I'd finish up with the convergence , the picture shrunk and I shut it off , I was thinking something got in the set and was shorting , nothing , turned it back on , after a minute it shrunk and the breaker popped , I then poked around to see if any wires were messed up , I checked the power rectifiers and one was shot , I then checked the old electrolytic and it was hot , must have taken the power rectifier out , so even 15 minutes later it was warm , so now to replace it and the rectifier.
earlier I tried the cathode and I couldn't get readings on the meter , the set should have produced a picture and it didn't ,I will try again with the 10 amp input of the meter but if that doesn't work I don't have anything to check the cathode.
also checked the anode and it is running about 22k , I will recheck that once I get the set running again , I guess if its 22k and not 23 it will be ok , if it runs under 22k is that harder on anything ?.
