Nice job on the "pseudo-Warren".

Please tell me more about that arcing 3AT2 HV compactron socket (what would cause that and how to correct it)- I'm getting ready to fix a newly-acquired 5317U/24MC32 and don't want anything to go wrong in the HV section.

One other question: anyone out there know the model "name" for the 5317*U ? (not sure which * I have, the cabinet back just says "5317U")

The arcing in my compactron was a result of a failed resistor followed by the scorching of the socket, I think.

I pulled the Original CRT, CRT mounting Plate, Bezel and Tuner Etc.. from Storage and put it back together again. It looks original from the outside and the only change inside is the 25mc33 chassis. Fit perfectly with no additional holes made, Even the chassis bolt holes all ligned up! I attached a few new photos of the TV in my TV room along with a few other sets.
