465 Dead HV Multiplier?


 

My lovely 465 died immediately after I finished some cosmetic repairs. Low voltage test points all look good. No beam, except when I disconnect the ground lead of the HV multiplier as suggested by VintageTek Museum on youtube (). (I also hear some crackling sounds with the multiplier disconnected, so I haven't run it in this state for more than a few seconds.) Could the problem be anything else besides the multiplier? I have a digital scope but no high voltage probe. To measure high voltage DC I have been using a 10MOhm resistor and analog ammeter, but of course that's a significant load.

If the problem is the multiplier - part number 152-0552-00 - does anyone know if they're still available? I see that a couple members have built replacements, and I would really appreciate a schematic and/or component values. The location of the multiplier within the scope, and the requirement of potting, will make it difficult to troubleshoot a DIY replacement and I have little high voltage experience. So I'd like to get it in 1 shot.
