when you feel like you have it all correct do the following:
Before power up
get the HV prob setup and in place.
have the horz out cathode meter in place to read the current
have the diddle stick in the eff coil ready to adjust
reset the HV pot to mid range.
check for any loose wires or solder blobs
check the wiring again.
have a B+ meter on the B+ 400v test point on the chroma board.
make sure all the cap leads (horz out, shunt tube) are in place
make sure the convergence board is plugged in
make sure the CRT anode is attached and will not fall out from the HV prob.
all tubes in sockets, CRT socket attached, kids/pets all accounted for...
power on:
check B+ should come right up to 400+ maybe spike higher until tubes warm up.
watch the horz out cathode current, should rise to about 200ma, if it goes over 210ma unplug set.
watch for smoke
hopefully you will hear the crackle of the HV and you will be able to set it up correctly with the HV pot now.
