I've been blessed!

Well, I got it put back together, and... it doesn't work right. Apparently too much resistance in series with the vertical convergence coils, which I was afraid of. Just for yucks, I tried reversing the convergence yoke (so the red coil is over the green gun and vice-versa). That resulted in better DC convergence (but still not enough range), plus the best DC setting put so much resistance in series that the vertical dynamic controsl have little effect.

At least the horizontal output seems to be OK, and no smoke was observed.

Well, back to the drawing board.

Oh yeah - still have to try the blue horizontal adjustment range with the new core.
