You do lovely work. It's almost a shame to put that chassis in a cabinet and hide it from view.

I believe that's only a tinted lacquer that was applied to the door. Be careful, the bezel is the same way.

John,
That makes sense. Yeah, the bezel is showing signs of the lacquer is rubbed off along the sharp edges. I look and see if I can buy some tint. We'll see.
Thanks.

Perhaps one of these Mohawk Toners might do the trick?

I'm holding off on working on the cabinet for a bit because of the weather.

I did get a replacement flyback though. It is a Merit HVO-53. Came with instructions. Nice.



I did have to drill/file new notches to mount the new flyback.





I followed the instructions as to the wiring and reassembled the HV cage.



Then the moment of truth. It works very well. I'm getting 12.5Kv and it is dead silent! No more crackling sounds.
