My "New" CT-100 restoration

[dtvmcdonald]

Focus problem found: a previously good 8.2 meg 2 watt carbon
composition resistor which should have 2800 volts across it
(0.95 watt) measures 27 megohms.

Luckily I have a 10 Meg HV resistor I can use,
which likely will put the focus voltage in range. Also. its in
the HV cage which can be serviced without removing the
chassis from the cabinet.

The new resistor fixed the focus problem. I tried magentizing a
screw for a replacement purity magnet. It was not quite strong enough.
So I ground the top of the screw flat and superglued on
a small piece of a refrigerator magnet. This made it work OK.
Getting passable convergence was fairly easy.

I got around to playing with the B+adjustment resistors
I had installed. The B+ was at 355 and I got it up to 385,
which Sams says i Correct, so I left it there.

The only remaining problems are probably designed in ...
bright colors in large areas ruin the luma. Actually my Pilot TV-37
ha the exact same problem until I realigned it to not
overemphasize 3.58 MHz. The other problem
is serious blooming on white screens.

Pictures this evening when window reflections wont be
a problem. I'm not showing Dorothy ... my copy is pillerboxed.
