has a video problem. If apx 120-150 VDC video is normal.
Longshot, pull & check the CRT socket for overheating. Some
early RCA in lines would get a poor fillament connection.
Last is a dead CRT, more on that later.......

Sorry about my lack of experience regarding Tv's (I mostly just repair audio), so a lot of that went over my head. Where is the G-2 control and what is it?
The cathodes are the pins on the tube, correct? When poking around with a meter I can only get a few volts off those. The neck board seems to be receiving low voltage. So far nothing on the main board has stuck out, and the power supply seems to be alright.
This Tv is just so attractive looking when sitting on my bench that I have to keep messing with it. Hopefully it'll live again.
Also, earlier in the thread I mentioned seeing snow. Must have been my eyes playing tricks because I can't see any snow at all, though the screen does put out some static.
