Hey guy's. Sorry for dissapearing... been a little busy with other shtuff. Anyway's I got the screen corrected. After I saw wa2ise's post,(on the 30th) I swapped the wires around and the screen looked right. Still have issues to correct, but I decided to play some snes. Nice and stable for the hour, everthing seemed good other than the filiment trans. got real warm. Not hot, but quiet warm. Also had some vertical lines appear on the screen after 10 minutes. Not sharp lines but just 6 or so about an inch apart across the screen that were slightly brighter than the image itself.

Well, I noticed something that I made a mistake with... I had the set running at around 85-90volts... Well when I upped it, (115v) I noticed that the screen got to a better size-actually got a little too big for the 10 inch crt... and the brightness took a dip, like it did before. (started going darker above 90v.) I had to turn that up a little more too look satisfactory. Also noticed the screen geometry issues a little more. T1 (fil.trans.) also now got HOT. Not burning hot but, what I would call hot for a tranformer operating temp.
I haven't touched the set now in a week.

Hey Niko, yea what I did was kind of sloppy. I may still restuff the cans later. I'd rather worry about getting everything good to go, first though.

No pics this time.. that's where its all at.
