ctc12 clone beam current

look, you have to connect the yoke blue lead (boost) to the 11.5 ohm lug. THEN you have to hook up the focus coil CORRECTLY.

If you are worried about burning things up, just put the meter in the cathode of the horz out and keep an eye on the current, if it starts to go north of 210 pull the plug. Good thing about tubes is they are not instant.

Quit looking at the numbers on the Sams, hook up the coils ELECTRICLY correct per the schematic on the focus coil the the ELECTRICLY correct fly terminals.

this is what im tring to explain the f coil is connected correctly i have went over it so many times now the only thing different is moving the yoke blue to the bottom lug it then becomes wrong as far as the f coil goes, the f coil is numbered and the boost does not show it as on that terminal both from the miller paper as well as the 2 schematics.

It is NOT connected correctly IF you reversed the fly lugs. the two ELECTRICLY speaking bottom lugs connect to the focus coil (D and E on SB's photo).

You just have to figure out which lug is which between the schematic and the coil and connect it right ELECTRICLY.

i did this already but being this boost is said to be on the bottom goes against what im reading. so if i took the 2 from the fly and reversed them then that would be moving the boost wire to another internal tap of the fly and would leave the terminal in question on the f coil alone, right? it would then be using the 11.5 ohms.
