Default Re: Restorers dream part 2 the chassis.

Hi,

Many thanks John.

I've now removed the Metrosil for the time being and re-installed the original U25 which came with the LOPT.

Lo and behold a result; I can now see sparks on both LOPT valves and also on the single wire into U25 (Anode?) but not the other two wires on U25. The sparks are just visible on the top caps with a nice trail on U25.

Ion trap; is this the little magnet at the end of the CRT if so my friend Mike Phelan told me to note which way it was fitted when I first started work on this set and I made a note of it? I'm pretty sure I've got all the coils on correctly and the magnet fits on bare tube between the coil and the end cap; there is room to slide it and it can be fully rotated. I might need to be careful here?

Kind regards, Col.
