I do not recommend the resistor loading technique called out by RCA. It is an enormous bother with no real advantage. Much easier and better to just put the yoke on the bench along with the chassis and fire it up. This allows all the gated circuitry (AGC, color burst, color amp, color killer) to function normally. I take the loose end of the HV cable and insert it into a glass jar or drinking glass, and tape it in place. This insulates the end of the cable and makes the set safe to operate on the bench. This way, all the functions of the set are operating, and comprehensive fault isolation and troubleshooting can proceed.
