I just obtained a 475 with option #7.

It all seems to function properly except that the HV line to the crt is
arcing to the chassis intermittently.  (at the connector where the black
wire meets the red)  I have the service manual but havnt come across any
reference to this specific problem.  Perhaps the HV is to high?

In my 30+ plus years as a ham, I have tried to divorce myself from dealing
with high voltages, but I guess I need to put one hand back in my pocket
until I get this resolved.

Any comments are most welcome.
