Tom, thanks for the notes about the horizontal circuits. I would never have thought to adjust the waveform with the H output not installed, I guess I am too much of a "by the book" person normally.

Old Coot, I used the capacitor because (again) "the books" typically say to do that. The official CTC-4 procedure does not even address the H output cathode current, but rather the screen grid and/or damper current. I will try another test with and without the capacitor and let you know if I see a difference. My other test will be with a DMM, and maybe those are the meters that need such a capacitor across them. (That test will be because I am not 100% sure of my 260's performance.)
