The first solid state PortaColor was an ugly, boxy looking thing. The next model resembled the tube type styling.
The CRT was similar, but with a 12v heater.
All the 10/11" PortaColors only had a 70 degree sweep, so the tubes were a lot longer.

Where in NW Indiana are you located?
The tube compliment is about the same as the older models with maybe a few changes, HV rectifier etc. CRT is designated under the newer standards, 10V. IIRC, 10VABP22A.
I’m in southern Lake county and it’s been block heater/antigel weather all week. The box was so cold it got condensation as soon as I brought it in, so I didn’t dare open it for obvious reasons. I’ll open the set itself on a day off and see if the manual is in it. I don’t know if I should bother with a recap yet?

That set doesn't have a manual in it. The mini-manual was only in the slightly newer models, usually solid state.
The only cap, I would worry about is the boost cap, .1mfd @ 1kv or 1.2kv.

You guys didn’t help me directly, but I got enough to figure what I needed; photofacts for my sets directly from sams. Thanks a bunch, finding schematics for vintage electronics is a bitch!

Paying it forward, I now have Sams folders 1223-2 and the HE chassis. The sheets are too big for my scanner but if anyone needs particular sections I’m more than happy to oblige!!
