I now have a picture! Obviously, it's not centered and I need to adjust the vertical height and linearity. However, it looks much better than it did when I started (I really think this TV likes the new caps). I still need to test the tubes and replace any defective ones. Also, the vertical sync circuit will need a little more attention. During a scene change or between commercials, the picture will sometimes roll once. I also found a mica cap on the horizontal board that had a loose connection; so, that was likely the reason for the intermittent HV. I even gave it the 3 minute Maury Povich test and even though her "babydaddy" wasn't who she thought it was and there was quite a scene backstage, the TV still kept going. And, to think they took off RTV programming in order to have more of this kind of (bleep).
