Sadly no. There are quite a few more components between antenna in and the kinescope than there is between phono in and the speaker. The kinescope's filament does light but a lack of raster suggests no high voltage. I didn't wait around at full voltage for more than a minute to troubleshoot, I didn't want to press my luck. I figured if it wanted to work it would have done so. It's seen enough excitement for a while. I think I'll allow it to retire again for a short time, this time in loving appreciative hands.
