whew....
ok put it all back together and crap
hold issues
color sync issues
crud...
but the snow is gone
so I start tube swapping, a combo of the old and new tubes gets it going again, I thought I was playing it smart by replacing the old 6GH8's with new ones that tested stronger, Now I am begining to wonder if the new ones were gassy. I will try them on my cheap emission tester for grid emissons. I tested them on the hickok 533 but not sure about how to do a gas test.
anyhoo pic is looking good and I am sweating like a stuck pig (tv is out in the garage, to heavy to move by myself). So will pick it up again tomorrow after work and see if I can get some screen shots. I just hope that color and sync issues dont come back. I only replaced the tubes since I was getting the one of the guns intermittently, and just shot gunned the chroma board. There was no excuse for messing with the sync tube, my bad, it was fine.
