i don't understand what you are showing me, you don't think like me so i can't work out how your are going about all this
the cathode of the diode goes to c333 and then to r318 correct? so where is the anode of the diode going?
yes but i don't understand why you are pointing towards or asking about the original 18v line, its totally irrelevant
i have told how and what to do about 20 times in this topic, its like a fast show sketch
ok sounds like it may be correct, the ic vcc max is 16v so 13.33 sounds like it will be fine
now you can remove the lightbulb, put the HOT collector back in circuit and see what happens on the tube
I have a feeling that you would need to run the vertical ic from the 25v line as well but worth seeing how it behaves with just the sync processor running from a clean supply
