I settled the grid issue, to my satisfaction, by hooking a

1 division square wave to the CH1, 2, and 3 inputs, turning on the CH1-4 display, and triggering on AC mains. I adjusted the vertical positions so that the pair of lines visible for CH1-3 covered the lower graticule lines, and the baseline trace covered the upper graticule line... leaving out the top most, and the bottom most graticule lines, as tek doesn't seem to think them relevant. I then adjusted the time cursors to the first and last graticule line, and the full picture of the distortion became visible. Lets number our horizontal graticule lines as follows: outer most top line we ignore. 1-4 where 4 is the center line. 4-7 where 4 is again the center line. outer most bottom line we ignore. My CRT is almost perfect on line 1, but grows more and more bowed to a peak at line 3, where it grows less and less bowed to a straight line at line 5, After line 5 it starts to bow downwards, to line 7 where it is bowed a little. As to physical damage: The 2467 CRT is built like a brick outhouse, except in 4 elements. These elements are fringe shields for the vertical and horizontal deflection plates, and are basically V shaped channels that are positioned at the sides of each plate pair... in other words, they cover the space between the left and right horizontal plates, and the up and down vertical plates. These shields are connected to anode1, and can be seen on the CRT schematic as dashed lines. Anyway, these are longish structure that are only fixed on one end. Everything else in the CRT is fused to the heavy glass rods that define the positions and structures of the CRT. -Chuck Harris Harvey White wrote: On Sat, 9 Mar 2019 21:38:36 -0500, you wrote: |
