Philco 50-t1483 Focus problem

[dreyfoos]

Hi Brandt,

Glad to hear (and see) that you have those nice sharp scanning lines. Now I'm wondering what it is about the transplanted focus coil that did the job when the one that ohmed good didn't. There's always the matter of getting proper position of the coil behind the yoke and relative to the innards of the CRT. But what else could account for the fix? Was the substituted coil the same part number as the original or was it just a lucky grab? I wonder now whether almost any focus coil from a 12LP4 equipped set would do the job?

I'll bet someone here can clear this up
