Zenith 2250R

On the brink of a hurricane, with too many other unfinished projects, I find myself starting yet another one. This time it's the 12" Zenith porthole I picked up on my trip to Alabama. This is actually something that I've been looking for for awhile. In my opinion, the smaller screen looks better than the later larger ones.

I've spent the past two days recapping and cleaning the set in preparation for a power up. The B++ is a smidge high, running in the 470-475 range instead of the 460. Other than that, the "low" voltage section is working fine. The HV is running about 2000V, I think that there may be a few out of tolerance resistors in the horizontal output section. (Maybe?) Also what's the horizontal drive adjustment used for? Adjusting the HV?
