I'm wondering if that convergence pattern may be some sort of artifact off of my generator. My BK 1249 doesn't do that, but the tek pattern generator seems to have multiple of the vertical lines. Either way, I'm adjusting with the BK from now on, and everything looks normal.
Either way, convergence is better, I still need to finish up everything and figure out why I can't seem to get it to converge correctly. I'll have to check the diodes, the center is definately moving. I'm hoping I just suck at convergence. It wasn't bad to do the convergence on my CTC-16, hoping it may be something simple. I will admit, the Delta gun setup makes me miss doing convergence on arcade monitors. (Something I never thought I would say)
A few other things, how warm should the flyback get? I was clocking like 150F with my thermal camera. I know these aren't prone to eat flybacks, but I'm super paranoid after my CTC-16 decided to munch on one( even while religiously monitoring my HOT current.) I'm debating on putting a fan to circulate air. I'm running on a variac at 115v.
My cathode current is currently sitting at 192mA after adjusting the horizontal linearity coil to the limit. HV maxes out at 24KV, I'm running it close to 21KV. Not sure if I should bump it up. The sine wave coil didn't appear to adjust the amplitude of the waveforms at all, it definitely changed the frequency, but waveform wise the peaks stayed relatively the same
Here's a video of it playing Charlie Brown. At least the colors are 95% of the way there
