boy this thing is kicking my butt. The new HOT tube fixed the squeal, but then I lost HV regulation (would bloom too easy, and the HV adj did nothing. Wide open with no beam current would be about 24k, but would drop to below 20k and be moving all over the place with the beam current. I also lost width. So I tried ANOTHER 6JS6 HOT, plenty of HV now, in fact all the way down and even with a bright screen its 25-27kv, too much really. Not sure I will try a couple more HOT's if I can find (I have a few pulls to try) but I may end up having to buy one. Oh and the width problem went away. Still now squeal so that is good. I may but that squeal tube back in and see how it goes.
I tried the purity setup, the yoke did not seem to go back far enough to get the red blob in the middle, so I just fiddled with the purity tabs to get the red centered as best as I could (most of the screen was red) then pushed forward to get it to cover the whole screen in red. Color purity looks good now. still some dynamic convergence to work on.
Still have not pulled the chassis to replace those few HV film caps.
