OK TCA the "ground" on the tripler is grounded in SOME sets.
On those the ABL will usually be taken at R356, the "low" end of the
FBT HV winding.
Think of yours as the low side of the tripler.
R362 & R359 will have the HV current through them, the brighter
the pix the more current so more voltage across the resistors.
The Zener diode will keep the voltage at its cathode at
7.5 V or less.
Under 7.5V the zener does nothing.
Result is the ABL control will adj. between apx 0 V & 7.5 V
If a dark pix it will adj. between 0 & < 7.5 V & send that to the
ABL transistor.
Hope that helps

Makes perfect sense. I will file it away in my memory and hope what I've learned will help with the next lesson.
