ok heres what i did, i placed a 5.6 k 5 watt resistor in paralle with the 1250 ohm that went up to 1398 ohms and it gave me around 1122 ohms. brightness is perfect along with the crt bias, the red and green come up without the bias but the blue needed alittle bias the 258 i had on the +270 source is now between 274-278 v and the +140 from the audio tube that was 125v is now 136v and i changed one .01 cap at the blanker tube being i was getting a meg ohm reading that would not go into infinity. so i could at anytime get the right 1100 ohm resistor and put it in. i decided not to go with what was in there 1250 ohms because maybe it was a mistake or put in many years earlier maybe the 1100 they did not have and subbed the 1250. either way if the 1250 was put in when new the set would have worked nice because everything was new. so im sure i would not have got a result like i got now had i put the 1250 in. here are a few pics, quality of the pics are not that great.
