the cap across the osc coil tested a bet leaky and weak, so I replace it as well a .0047 paper in ceramic tube cap. put it all back, arcing gone on variester, hmm no pic, very dark pic,AGC barely does anything, poor sync lock, WTF....

I looked around where I had just checked some resistors in the sync sep circuit where I had to take them out of circuit (PCB), careful looking shows very small solder bridge right around where I was working. Cleared that out but its getting late so I am just going to call it quits for tonight. I am starting to dislike this set

well that was it, the solder bridge must have been fouling the AGC. the new cap seems to have made the horz osc a tiny bit better as far as the ability to hold lock with the horz control. Still seems to have that problem with hard vertical lines, so think I will try a couple more things tube wise, then the scope and if that does not do it I will just pack it up and forget it.

don't know what the deal was with the horz pulling, I put the DVD box on it rather than the OTA from a modulator and it seems fine now. the line pairing is settling down as well. I will get some pics soon now, just have to take a break, too hot out in the garage. I decided to leave the brightner off, it has a better pic with it but not too bad with out. Plus I could not for the life of me figure out a good place to put it. I tried zip tie under the CRT neck but then the bump out would not fit. There was just no good place for it.
