well just for the hell of it i took the 1.6 resistor out for the hv adjust pot and replaced it with a 1meg and now i got the proper hv adjustment via the pot bright down 25kv bright up stays steady and now i can set it at close to 30kv if i wanted, works perfect. and dave how you managed to locate that burned cap even not here around the set amazes me even me having this set for close to 4 years and i never knew that bad cap was there. again thanks
