In this case Q14802 was shorted. As for the shop screen: I have made a wood frame out of 1x4s about 4x4 feet square. We stapled a white bed sheet over it tightly. With screw eyes in the ceiling and the frame's corners, I suspended it above. The screw eyes in the frams have cord tied to them that slips thru the cieling eyelets and down to the wall where there are tie-offs. This allows me to raise and lower all sides to properly angle it for a good focus/convergence while working.Still there are limits to linearity observation.Good for HV, video,color,etc. Thanks for the response, all have a good laborday.
