== CRT Circuit ==
The CRT circuit of the 556 uses two HV transformers.
The lower beam transformer, T1301, produces:
* CRT anode voltage: +8150V
* lower beam cathode voltage: -1850V
* lower beam control grid (blanking) voltage: varies, about -2000V
The upper beam transformer, T1351, produces:
* upper beam cathode voltage: -1850V
* upper beam control grid (blanking) voltage: varies, about -2000V
