You have a Sencore CR-70 but don't have a basic multimeter??? A meter should be your first piece of test gear. Also, I gather that you don't have much experience with vintage electronics seeing as you plugged in this set without giving it a thorough check-out. I think you need to learn basic electronics and learn how a VOM works. In addition you need to learn quirks of tube gear and the dangers within, especially TV sets. I would get books, and study and learn all you can. This is a great place to get info but you have to have a solid foundation of basics in order to move ahead.
