Before I forget, would you mind taking a quick shot of the tuner string when you get a moment? On the one I'm doing, it seems to have slipped, and the knot came out of place on the shaft.

I finished replacing the main power supply filter caps which just leaves two multi-section caps to go. I figure that was good enough and decided to fire it up.

No smoke and I could hear the horizontal kick in. No raster though. I loosened up the anode cap and was able to draw a nice strong arc.

Eventually, I noticed that the test CRT filament wasn't lighting up and touch up the pins with a soldering iron. That did the trick

Unfortunately, I only seem to have horizontal deflection and I can heard some corona arcing inside the HV box but it's progress of sorts.
