ok heres the latest now, i checked the source voltages and all the voltages are good with the exception of the 160v source and the 140v source. the 160v is testing 129v and the 140v is testing 129v also. i also checked all the high wattage resistors between the different voltage sources, all good . checked the caps and connection for the both voltage sources, cannot find anything wrong here. these voltages are on the IF board, chroma board, and verticle board, all the other voltages are ok. there is a 140v source going to the 6gy6 z demodulator pin 6 but when i pull the tube i then get 140v back in it drops 10 volts. maybe this is all correct and places on the board consume voltage like it is just idling with no yoke or crt connected but i thought i would check my work on the recapping. i am so lost here as to why nothing has been found bad yet.
maybe at this point i should figure the right voltage at the 12by7 by setting the bright pot then check resistance on the pot and make up the difference so that the pot can be at max because if i leave the bright in a specific spot after the voltage was set by the pot and it gets turned then its back to square one. this is so not right to do but what else is there to do, obviously there is something wrong here that is being overlooked, and its got to be a simple but yet a criticle thing going on here.
