Brass caps can actually eliminate the risk of electric arc formation. Everything has a reason. High-voltage capacitors are arranged very widely on the board to further eliminate this risk.
My horizontal deflection module is exactly as in the photo/does this set work?/. Unfortunately, the condition is much worse. This was, as I know, a universal part used in many other RCA sets. In Europe, Philips modules with different optics and an oil rectifier box were common.
I have some Russian valve equivalents, so that makes the job a little easier. E.g. 1B3GT = 1C7S.
This is my start on this forum. I think I will find help here in restoring my other US TVs. I have several models from the 1940s and early 1950s.
Thank you for your comments so far.
