Hi !

I believe I was unclear, I have 2 sets of the same model, but NOT the one you have. What
I mean is that the sets I have are 1958 Emerson B&W tv's and both were made with
a built in problem that required the ion trap on the H Output tube.

Onto the coupling cap. Since you believe you have a current problem, knowing that
you have found the problem part, and actually fixed the problem is the reason you
would want to check voltages Before, and After replacing the coupling cap. on this
issue..... It is a way to learn, and help those who follow this problem on this thread
learn too.... If you just blindly replace the cap, did anything change...? Was a bias
voltage change the reason for the higher current ? Did you fix it or not ?

If the slug in the coil is broken, remove the coil and drill out the broken slug, start
with a drill just a little bigger than the hex opening, then go up from there. Eventually
you will have broken pieces, and have to knock or unscrew them out with steel wire,
or very small drill bits. Unless you can get a new coil and just replace the entire thing.
