"It....is....Alive !!"

The RCA 630TS just passed it's first critical tests! Holds Hi Voltage nicely, which means I replaced all the Electrolytics, etc correctly. Audio Section works completely satisfactory. I have a Video signal, but, it's unsync'd and has width issues. Replacing the Width Control (Coil has a loose lead) from a spare, and am going to work on V119, the Synch Separator, and check T108, the Horizontal Synch Discriminator Transformer.

The 10BP4 I'm usung for Test is behaving satisfactorily, but, I have two spares.

The Cabinet is completely restored, waiting for the Chassis.

Not bad for my FIRST ever electronic project, eh?

That was my biggest fear. I was afraid I was WAY over my head picking a Television, particularly the oldest one mass produced, as a first project. It's not 100%, but, I am close...

The Cosmetic restoration of the Cabinet was a relative piece 'o cake, though it took about 150 hours of work. I am very meticulous with stuff like this.

I did read a number of posts on this, and other websites before I embarked on the restoration. Thanks to all here who helped.
