Just placed a order for a bunch of electrolytic capacitors for the set, as I'm sure they are no good as always.

The flyback transformer looks clean, shockingly clean, TOO CLEAN almost, it has had an easy life, or has been replaced, never seen one this nice before.

This is obviously a custom cabinet, because one dumb thing about it, there is no room to get to and open the side cover on the HV box w/o swinging the chassis out for room.

Another thing that was noticed was, all the screen controls were turned all the way up almost, this does not match with the rather decent emissions that were shown with the CRT tester, meaning some fault with the chassis to be worked out, likely a weak selenium boost rectifier like I had in the Hoffman Colorcaster, or some other fault in the CRT circuitry.
