Unless the wife didnt see another cord option at ace maybe there is but the photo she sent me looked like large hole and smaller hole. As far as the back of the set my cord option is the slide off hv cage, somebody apparently drilled it out. Dunno why.
UPDATE:ace does have non polarized cords wife didnt look close enough. Cord fits pretty good too!

You can in a pinch,use a small jeweler slot screwdriver to " squish" down the larger hole of a polarised cord to a smaller diameter.I would force the small screwdriver outside the metal connector of the larger hole and twist/bend the screwdriver around the entire circumference to force the larger connecter in.that will make it smaller. I did this many times in the past..hope this helps. RonL

I might try to mod a cord to fit.
Im now trying to remember how to display the test image on my d/a converter box with a usb. all my images are in jpg format. I dont remember why its not showing up on the converter box as a choice. Homeworx media sonic hw 150pvr. I have 6 test images on a thumb drive that I think might be all the same but they dont show up in the homeworx list when I choose photo. I also need to find more test images to download.
Update: heres the usb test picture.
I should take off the ion magnet and check to see if the focus coil is centered. I know its not perpendicular horizontally or vertically.

fascinating the picture I just took and uploaded was different than it looks now. Turn on tv take picture upload picture. Uploaded picture is with no warm up time. Picture gets shrunk some as it warms up and might even be clearer after warm up. I have put focus coil as close to yoke as possable and square to the tube. Latest picture of trying to dial it in. Makes me wonder if focus coil needs to be closer to yoke. I dont know what made image clearer, straightening of the focus coil or make it closer to yoke. Now picture seems to be oblong on right side but if I measure top to bottom and left to right its 6.5 inches for circle. Also is more pickey for horizontal lock so somethings out of adjustment because if the cables loose and I bump it introducing static it wont lock back on and picture tears unless I readjust it so must make sense, looks wonky and doesnt horizontally lock good. Oh the joys of tweaking not knowing what your doing. I try to adjust it so everything looks good and I get this line so I back it off and my pictures messed up some way or another. No idea why this line appears then dissappears depending on what Im tweaking.

messed with it even more. Its the drive control that makes these lines if I back it off from tight too much. Makes one line and if I back off more makes 2 lines. Is the picture double folding over telling me dont do that or is this not normal. Is this possably a vertical problem? Real wild guess is theres caps hiding that need replaced, or, the flyback isnt so flybacking.
I just tightened the horizontal drive adjustment. Its now at full stop tight. Not gorilla tight but vertical lines are even less now. Things to try are swap 6bg6 with original one and maybe see what other components can affect this creation of lines.
