Happy 4th of July! CTC-16XL!

[nasadowsk]

Speaking of the XL, anyone know a good sub for the inrush themistor (R208 on the Sams, 120 ohm cold), and the VDR for degauss (R209)?

Also, my picture is somewhat dim and has smear in the luminance. The former makes me think blanker (tried swapping tubes, haven’t measured horz current yet), but wow, the 1V2 for focus glows pretty bright (!).

The latter - bad coil, cap, or delay line? The smear just… happened one day.
