It works ok now. The CRT is a bit weaker than I would like. And there is that weird vertical line on the screen I pointed out in the picture. I do have the VHF fine tuning knob, but it's broken, and I don't have the antenna.

Lots of pics...

That vertical line is generated by the horizontal sweep circuit. It has a name, I think something like "Barkhausen lines". Please correct me if I've gotten it wrong.
