This gives a totaly dead raster or line.
Pin 9 is focus so not to worry for now. Pins 5-6-13 are G-2 and
may concern you. Measure at the chassis unless you have a test socket.
The only thing in the socket is spark gaps & 1 K resistors.
they do go bad but usually the focus pin from too much focus voltage
or constant high humditity.....
I highly recomend a rebuilt Fluke meter
off e-by. Got them for both sons & do more then the cheapo
meters. Also can drop them, hit people with it etc & will keep
running. Just be sure it goes to 1 KV DC. They run abt $75
but will last your life. Beond 1 KV you need an HV probe..........

Do you mean 5,4 and 13? The leads to the socket go though to under the chassis. Do they have test points somewhere on the top of the chassis?

I'll see about unplugging the IF lead and check for a rebuilt Fluke or borrow my brother's. Will still get one, but don't want to wait any longer than necessary to get this puppy up and running. The safety caps will be here Tuesday.

Thanks
