Duct tape.


On the horizontal setup, follow the procedure outline in Sams/RCA literature. First thing is to make sure you dip the efficiency coil for minimum reading on the cathode of the HOT, then set 6BK4 current for .8ma with brightness at minimum, which should give you an anode voltage of 20kv or somewhere in that ballpark. But from experience, you'll probably want to set the 6BK4 a little less than that to give you some headroom on the anode. My Wingate was so weak I could disconnect the shunt tube and still struggle to get strong HV to the picture tube. Just the way it is.

If you'd rather wait, it's gonna be a month till I'm back around and BTW I won't be available Saturday till later on in the evening. So if you can't make it down here for a drop off/training session this Saturday around 6pm, we probably won't be able to get together till I get back as I have plans with the family that's going to take up the rest of my labor day time off. Let me know.
