I replaced the door knob cap tonight. Success! I now have about 10Kv at the 2nd anode with 1 HV tester and about 13Kv with the other.

I've hooked up my pattern generator to it and I am starting to straighten out the picture.

I adjusted the ION trap for max brightness and centered the focus coil. I do have a question on the adjustment lever for the focus coil labeled Centering. I'm guessing I move the lever around to "center" the picture on the CRT. My question is there are 2 screws on each side of the Focus Coil that allows it to move up and down and from side to side. Do I loosen them to move the centering lever around and once the picture is centered I tighten those screws along with the 1 screw on the Centering lever? This is the first time I've done an Admiral and this lever is new to me.

Next problem. It seems that the H width and H lineraty adjustments do very little. There is some adjustment but the picture is past full screen. I've read the Sams on adjusting the Horizontal sweep circuit adjustments but very little happens. Is this normal? Any clue as to where to look? Remember I just replaced all the caps and resistors. I ohmed out the coils too.

Thanks.

BTW, my 210 volt line going into the fuse is now measuring 238 volts.
