Surprisingly, there was also a wire on the flyback that wasn't even soldered on! It was just wrapped around the loop connector. So I cleaned the terminal and soldered it on. I don't know how it worked all these years without a secure connection? It was loose when I touched, just floating.

Just an update after most of the recapping is done. The hv is low, but I do have a raster with a picture!

What is your HV reading? Not sure what to make of your pic, is it just dim, or blurry also? What happens when you increase brightness, does the pic bloom, then extinguish? That would be a symptom of low HV. Is your ion trap adjusted properly?

My hv probe somehow broke so I don't know the voltage. It doesn't bloom when the hv is turned up. The CRT tested bad, but so did my other 16" and it was very watchable. There are a couple more electrolytics I still need to replace because I sinehiw didn't order them with the rest of the cap order. The people brightness is turned all of the way up in the picture.

I also tried adjusting the ion trap, it's in the brightness position also.

Well, you could do what the old-timers used to do... pull the anode & see how
much of an arc you can pull... About an inch, you should be fine.

I ordered the remaining caps I needed to finish the recap, so I can move forward and address any low hv issues.
