More recapping tonight, I installed some of the stuff that came in from Mouser. Also had to remove the focus control, it was seized. Took it apart and it's actually in pretty good shape electrically, just the shaft was a little frozen from corrosion. Gonna polish the shaft a little, grease and reinstall it.
Still need the rest of the caps from Allied, mainly the .22uf ones. After those and the new lytics are installed, I think it will be ready for a slow run up on the variac to form the new caps. If things look good from there, I still need to test the Corotron regulator in another set to see if it still works. If not, I'll have to install a 6BK4 regulator mod to control high voltage. Probably won't happen till next weekend though, I have something going on in Wisconsin this weekend.
