Thanks Guru,
In regards to discharging the tube, I was told to always discharge it anytime you work around the yoke or cap. I'm still learning stuff about CRTs, so please, by all means correct me if I seem to be doing something wrong!
I checked the resistance on the vert. and hor. posts. The vert. measured 5.6, while the horizontal measured 1.6. After removing the connectors and examining the posts more closely, I noticed that it was my crimp job that caused the loss of signal to the yellow wire. When I was crimping the ends on to the wiring harness, I had to slightly flatten the tubes on all the connectors so the post could make sufficient contact. I just forgot to give that yellow wire the same love I gave the other 3.
Now I'm getting a relatively full white screen. I adjusted the brightness to a reasonable level, and played with the screen position until I got it to a point where, well......have a look......
The last 1 or 2 lines are flickering and redrawing themselves.......
........and the sides are experiencing a little barrel distortion.
I know someone on here has installed a few 8liners chassis before, and I thought it might have been you, but I could be mistaken. Do you know where the pincushion/barrel controls are located on this particular board?
