[fumplet]

Well I almost got picture tube out but tube socket wouldnt clear yoke, but Im not even sure I need to totally remove piccture tube unless possably somethings holding yoke from being straight against tube cone. I had forgotten about the little front tab on chassis holding tube in. I also wasnt aware that the top wing nut allows the yoke to be moved not only clockwise or anticlockwise but front and back. so i did slide yoke closer to front of tube. currently watching adam 12.
Im going to try to take the tube all the way out tonight. Might take 2 people to do it, one to hold the tube and other to get neck plug to clear yoke.
