I just need half an inch on either side of the screen to get full width. I've already swapped the 6BG6 that originally came with the set to one that gave me a more width. I think I have a 5V4 in my stash of tubes but haven't found one to swap yet.
I'll have to pull the chassis out again to check the width coil as I installed it to watch some TV! The set draws the correct amount of current at 117 volts on the variac. about 2.73 amps.... 300 watts... It will keep the room its in warm during the winter! 28 tubes.... Wow.
I know there are two remaining issues with the set but it provides a very watchable picture. Its logged well over 10 hours with me so far. The Dumont Chatham looks great and was one that I've wanted to have since I was in high school... I'm now 38.... It was about time to finally get one.
Thanks!
