Picture tube arcing

[Dreamsbeard]

I see, what I find odd is that the arcing was intermitent, so I was sure I did something wrong, that coupled to the fact that it worked fine for 5 mins before I started to play with the flyback adjustments.

I'll plug it again and let it "cook" for 10 - 15 min to see if it goes away.

thanks!

It may not apply hear & may have some risk but.....
About E or F line Zeniths we had 2 that wouldnt focus.
Somehow the HV was bleeding back to the focus grid.
Zeniths instructions were to pull the CRT socket, ground
the CRT focus pin & fire up the set. A little snapping &
it fixed both sets.

That being said RTVnut is correct, arcing is common
after a rejuve, sometimes even H-K shorts usually repairable.
In shop rejuves we would leave on over nite & the next day.
Then turn off for the night for final check & set up.
