Hello everyone, after having changed all the boards, minus the power supplies, the projector started working again but i cannot seem to succed in making the red tube to focus.
In first place the pj's fault came to be thanks to a high voltage shock in the exact same red tube (it burned the CLM).
Now the red tube is out of focus and the image seems to have shifted in one place, it lights up, the contrast increases and decreases but it wont focus. I have also tried to reverse the red tube with the green one but the problem still persist. Maybe i have to demagnetize the tube's front? Is this the right solution? Anybody can please give some advice?
Greetings Walter.

Swap the focus yoke wires so that the green adjustments actually adjust the red, and vice versa. Likely the focus board is bad, but that's one way to make sure the tube/focus yoke is OK.

Hi Curt, i have changed the yok of deflession, the focus coil and the CPC magnets taken from another projector, thanks to this i managed to solve the problem.
Probably the focus coil was broken, now the focus of the red is as sharp as a knife.
Thank you so much!

I think a danish projector collector experienced different focus coil behaviour due to inconsistent magnetic strength within the coil.

Hi, probably the high voltage discharge hit the focus coil and the deflection coil, also burning the CLM
however by replacing these parts the focus is back.
if you want I can send you by e-mail photos of the problem and the parts that I have replaced.
unfortunately I can't post them here.
