Removed the focus coil...did not have the ion trap on it and there's no change. I hate to keep coming back to this switch but, I measured the voltages on the brightness control (working...ohmed out 10 ohm to 52 Kohm) with the switch in the TV position and I turned the brightness control through the full range while measuring the voltage on all three tabs and had an invariant 135 volts DC reading. No change on the brightness control voltages.
Here's this area:
