I can get on both sides of the lock point with the color hold control, so that is likely OK.

Next is the HV supply. I was able to repair the damaged focus pot. I made a new resistance track using thin phenolic board and pencil lead. I applied the pencil lead to the roughed up surface of the phenolic strip until I got the correct resistance value. I then installed it in the potentiometer housing. It seems to hold up even when constantly adjusting the control. I had to replace two doorknob capacitors as well. Now I get 27KV and can't regulate it down to normal. Possibly one of the high value resistors is out of tolerance.

Eric, you have made unbelievable progress in a very short time. Take a bow!!! You have used a ton of creativity in getting things to work.

Regarding the pots you repaired. How did you get the graphite from the pencil lead to adhere to the phenolic board? You had mentioned using a certain type of glue, but I couldn't find the reference when I reread your notes.
