My Christmas day 9T246 restoration! Almost.....

No. I know what's wrong.
You were loading down the poser supply before, so, horiz. osc. was right on. You changed it to correct values, taking some of the over load off, so, now, horiz. osc. needs re adjusting.
On the damper caps. not high enough voltage. They MUST be 1KV.
Tim, you are closer than you thought. The lin. coil doesn't adjust the oscilatr. Power supply was being overloaded before. Remember? Low hv?
Set was drawing more current.
Leave the correct caps in, and, re align the horiz. osc. according to instruction.

Okay, review this with me for a sec

Since last update, I replaced the one .018 damper filter, which was basically split open on the back. I assume that's where I repaired the low HV issue.

I may be wrong, but I don't see how the cap on the linearity coil can affect HV. If anything, won't it affect the time base of the horizontal oscillator? In fact, when I first powered the set up, I was able to crank the control to the left and lock the picture in with multiple images.

NO. that coil isn't for adjusting the horizontal osc. frequency at all.
It makes the picture more linear. In other words, If you look at a circle on your screen, and, picture is non linear, the circle may be egg shaped, or, jagged, instead of completely round. Now, this is only a simple example, but, I hope it works.
Now, the horizontal drive will adjust the amount of voltage the control grid on the horizontal output receives. That will also affect your hv, but, not the oscilator frequency. But, if voltage is pulled down too much it can also, now, mind you, I'm not saying will, but, can affect the horizontal osc. frequency because it's loading down the horizontal output, which in turn pulls more current, which in turn pulls down power supply voltage, which will affect the frequency....

You neded to go back to the horizontal osc. coil, and, follow the directions on proper adjustment of the horizontal oscilator.
