Put it back in the cabinet to have a look again.

Fired it up and have chroma, but no raster. Before, there was no chroma. Now has sound. Full good width, and vertical issues. I know the vertical problems are those nasty wax capacitors. The video... well, the OEM 12BY7 was toasted. The replacement NOS is in it. I can see something when the contrast is moved, and brightness changes.

I've made a list of what capacitors are in the set to compare with the RCA manual and Sams.

It ran for about an hour total. I never left it. Both can filters are cool, and the flyback got warm, but not terribly warm. High voltage is holding steady now at 22kv.

The B+ voltages are dead on from the power supply. The 145v supply from the audio output is 140v.

Not going to run it much until I check the cathode current, and get some capacitors.
