It's looking great, Dave. Makes me want to take another stab at the convergence on mine. And the color looks superb.

When you say that you are leaving the flyback cover off, do you mean that you are leaving the entire HV enclosure off? My flyback gets pretty warm too...

yep leaving the whole cover off. Make it a LOT easier to check temps, replace tubes (esp the 3A3, its easy to break that plastic bucket, with the cover off you can hold the metal part down and not stress the plastic bits after discharging the CRT of course).

I know about the concerns for X rays and Fire, both of which are supposed to be contained by the full metal box, but its my set and I understand about the dangers. I am not too concerned about X rays since its got a metal cabinet and I don't plan to stand behind it in operation.

I could mount a fan to the fly cover box, and may end up doing that for cooling but it still is a pain to replace the 3A3 with the box in place.

This is why I titled the video "nearly done"

the convergence was much easier after I got that horz coil replaced. Its key to make sure all the controls are working as they should. I ended up replacing some leaking or lossy caps in the board, left the orig Se diode pack alone, oh and replaced a couple crunchy pots on that board as well.

Thanks for the info. I'm not too worried about my flyback since I don't run the set for more than two hours or so at a time.

The convergence board is the only part of set that I haven't recapped, so I think I'll start there. A couple of the pots are kind of questionable, too. The convergence is only off at the edges so I haven't been very motivated to mess with it.

Nice solution for the back.
