Order I go in is power supply then H osc/ HV. At that point you get
a good idea of the condition of the CRT, yoke & FBT.
So for now get the osc on freq.
BTW one of the most common problems after recap is hoz freq off.
The set drifts over the yrs & changing cap puts the "right" values
back in. Also for HV 1KV per inch is a good general rule.
enuf fer now

Zeno, you're missing the fact that this is a electrostatic deflection TV. There's no flyback transformer, HV is derived from a RF oscillator separate from the deflection systems, and the horizontal can be operated off frequency without drastic changes to B+ current.... Heck I know of someone who built a composite monitor out of a junk set and was able to make it display 720P HD by adjusting H osc frequency.
