It's been quite a while since I spent any real time with this set, as it had developed a problem with the vertical slowly collapsing, and loosing sync. I've been busy working on other stuff including my RCA 21CT55, so it sort of got shoved aside. Well I got back into it, and the problem with the sync and vertical collapsing, was just a simple problem. A ground on the corner of the circuit board that connected to the 6CG7/6FQ7 (vertical osc and sync) which went to one side of the filament pins. Re-soldered it, and it's back to normal. CRT is actually getting better with some use, it now checks over .9 on all three guns on my Beltron. Original 21CYP22 still going strong. I believe it is really a low hours set. I never run any of these old tube TVs unattended so if something should go bad (IE filter cans or flyback), at least I would be able to disconnect it right away, rather that leaving it on causing more damage. Filter cans right now run cool so I have left them alone for now. Here are a few more pictures of the set.
