CTC 7 Question

[old_tv_nut]

Possible the connection to one anode is open (either the lead/resistor, or the connection itself) and arcing across?

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the tips. I’ve changed the resistor between them with no improvement. There are no cracks or arcing visible around the anode connectors in a totally dark room with the boot and metal shield removed. All ground straps are in place and clean. I’ve suspected a dag issue that may be around the rim of the tube where I can’t see it. I plan to pull the CRT soon and give the entire bell a good once over in the hope that it is a dag issue. I have some spray graphite dry lube that dries tack free that should serve the purpose for replacing the dag. I’ll scrub off any loose stuff and re-spray it to fill any missing areas and create a good coating all over. Wish me luck. Thanks again, Rick
