If you feel that you can handle the efficiency coil adjustment I think you should at least
set up for it, and see if there is a working adjustment there.... Like some range, and
keeping under the current they recommend.....

Be very careful with the coils, you don't wanna do any damage with that stuff, It'll
be on the brittle side....

You may want to look at measuring the B+ Boost with that HV probe....
This has it marked, you can see it on the schematic near the 6BK4 tube.
They don't give a number. Sams might say something about B+ Boost,
check it out.... You can see how the B+ Boost goes right over to the pin 3's
of the screen adjust pots.... Your voltages look 100V too high, even at
cutoff.... I wonder what they would be if turned up a little.....

If you can determine if the Boost is too high, then it's a matter of
testing each component to see if you can find it....

Is that focus rectifier good...? You said some resistor near the focus coil
was burnt up, was it R109 - 100K...?

Also you replaced the flyback with a Thordason same as was in it when you
got it, you have to begin thinking that two pins may be switched... You
may need to see how to check to be sure that that transformer was the
right way to begin with.....


.
the resistor that is across 2 tabs on the focus coil its new and ok the original resistor was burned in 2 and dont know why but its been ok since the new one. the cathode current has a good swing as i can adjust it from around 180 all the way to over 210 ma . the focus rectifier is the 1v2 and is good along with any other resistors that go with it . i think there was a 1 meg and a low ohm resistor at the focus socket where its fed from the fly for the 1v2 heater. as for the fly being wired i went over the sams and the connections to make sure nothing else was wired wrong after finding the focus circuit wrong. if i turn the rgb drives up even al;ittle i get the lines and the blooming. i will have to get to that boost voltage to see what it is and if it is to high im not sure where to find the fault. what 2 pins are you saying may be switched ? i think the 1 meg is the focus wire to the crt.
