I probably don't need them, but if you want them gone I don't mind being the custodian of them.

I have some low furniture dollys that I could used for that purpose if I had something the right height to stack...I just don't have any time for woodwork presently (also I need an adjustable height cart with a lift jack not fixed height)...Hell I probably lost a good 2 hours per night of sleep per night just to get that Conrac buttoned up. It is together and resting on a packard bell console now so it is safe.

Radiation decontamination actually....I take it you haven't seen the james Bond Film 'Dr. No' before...

Before I turned down the B+ to spec it filled the screen and was running 235mA H out cathode current and the fly was gettign hot after 40 min running. After getting B+ to spce it was running 180mA, but didn't fill the screen. I then subbed a better tube and currently have the compromise fo full screen and 220mA (cathode current had to be adjusted off dip for a full screen)... H centering is at one end. which don't help...I may in the future try to get it better.
For now it is good enough that I can try to work on other stuff and get unburied in projects.

Did anyone manage to locate a scan of the service manual for this monitor? I'd imagine that the one for the CYA would also have quite a bit of overlapping information.

The one Kf4RCA posted is correct and all I have presently....The set was working fine when I last used it the last time this thread was active so I'm not worried.
