well this is what i have as of now , i did resistance checks of the tubes on the chroma board and the vert board compared to the sams some are alittle high but not much however i would say they are all very good or close. but v21 and v23 are 6gy6 tubes and pin1 on both should be 1.9 ohms but i am getting around 150 ohms and it changes with turning the color knob on the front of the set, there im lost. also pin 7 on v21 should be 1.9 ohms i get 2.0, so thats ok v23 it should be 14 ohms im getting .9 ohms so i am really lost but this could be the problem with the drive lines and down the line it may even fix the hv issues as well. it almost seems that something may be shorted for that ohms reading to be so high and to get a varying reading when raising and lowering the color control. the resistance page of the sams dont state anything about the color control changing anything.
