Thanks Tim.

Very nice work. I'm just worried about that flyback. What are the three wires going to the second anode?

Thanks Bill.
I'm not sure what 3 wires you are talking about. There's a red one, and black one which goes to the yoke, and I think there's a white one and I'm not sure where it goes. I have the cover on the HV cage.

Where does the black wire come from? If it's the yoke, very likely it goes to one of the taps on the flyback.

Right, it goes to one of the taps.

I think he's talking about the red wires from what looks like the 1B3 rectifier tube socket (the brown plastic cylinder). One wire to the very high voltage GRT connection, and the other two a winding around the flyback core.

OK. You are correct about the 3 red wires.
