Checking hv

So if I do the diodes instead of using the tube and the voltage jumps to 180-190v there is no guarantee the deflection with fill the screen and I still would have to worry about the power supply caps

I would think that the voltage would not go that high...perhaps 150 volts or so, if the current draw is low.

The voltage as it is now is 147v. On the d5-100 would you know what the WE is on pin 3 and AST on pin 12

[jr_tech]

Pin 3 is the grid, pin 12 is astigmatism.
