Question that has nothing to do with alignment. When I first started this project, I had concerns about voltages and total amp draw of the TV (1.75A vs the >2.0A commonly seen). I got lots of great advice and basically stopped worrying about it as the consensus was running the TV with all new caps would make it work more efficiently hence the lower amp draw.
Not sure why I was inspired to do this but I was wondering if the filament voltage had anything to do with this and a less than optimally bright picture on the CRT. The filament voltage is 5.7V AC and not the standard 6.3V. I understand this is an isolated secondary winding of the power transformer with no other draws loading it down. I took the voltage read on the filaments of the audio output tube. This is a shot in the dark from someone who has no idea if this could be an issue but the only paper caps I haven't replaced yet are the safety caps on the AC line. They are baked, oil smeared domino type caps and I have always had plans to replace them but could they have anything to do with AC voltages in the power transformer?
