Westinghouse TV no picture : Strip or fix?

[JesusJones]

I did leave it off.

I know that 500 volts is near the maximum value of the tubes, (most likely) and you don't want anything like that. It actually made me sad when I found out I had been testing the Tv at 475 volts. I'm amazed it stayed alive for 30 seconds.

It wasn't until I put my 25 ohm and 150 ohm resistor in that I tried it.
The Voltage was actually too low. I've been paraleling resistors since then to try and get it up.
Voltage doesnt go anywhere near 400 anymore though. Which is a big releif


I only really have 2 problems now.
The screen is too wide
And the top looks a incy bit stretched. Other than that all seems well.
