take pictures of the flyback, the wiring, and under the chassis, post good clear picts, and
some the focus wiring you found and repaired.... There are people here who have
recently worked on and own several of them.....

You might also find that if both of your sets are identical, as far as the chassis goes,
that visual comparison might be a very good idea.... I'm confident the problem can
be found, there are lots of people here who know this chassis inside out....

By the way, which Silvertone is this one.... 63, or 65...? And are they the same.....

the silvertone is the pic you see on this page its a 1963. the other ones i have are 65 silvertone and it has a different focus circuit. and besides i have went over this set with the sams hoping to find a mistake by another tech but have yet to find anything other then the focus circuit. and the other is 65 maggie which has a problem as well and that one has the 2v2 circuit. the only thing i can say is when i got the set i changed the focus coil because it had a burn mark so i assumed it was bad and after putting the new one in befor finding the focus miswire the focus was not good at all. so i took it out only to find that one part of the coil had opened so now i couldnt use it anymore and moyers sold me the last one. i then checked the ohms of the old coil and to my surprise up against the sams and it was good but i dont know what the history was to have burned the coil the way that it did but it was still good so i put it back in with a new resistor i think it was 100k because the old one was burned clear apart and its been in there since. even though the ohms check good im not sure if this may be a cause for the hv problem. one other thing i remember is in first getting the set going the horiz hold was all the way to one end so what i had done to correct that was tweeked the coil on the vert board and that fixed that and now it has range left and right to adjust if need be as befor it didnt. sorry for the edits but i did have arcing at the neck somewhere under the yoke when i first got it going but this may hjave been when i took off the reg tube cap to check hv at the time but never did arc again since.
