I know, as see you are using Orange Drops, but I am speaking to the uninformed.
BTW same tangled mess in the pot.
I guess your yoke is OK or is that another one?
Keep us posted!

Damn that chassis looks factory fresh! Can't say the same about mine, it's a little rusty and dirty.

She's a real beauty. Takes me back to the 70's when I was servicing these "old" TV's. Old, if old is 20 years.

Didn't see if your yoke was any good or not. Let me know please.

Like the man said, check all the caps in and under the flyback cage. Check the 6DQ5 current. The 3A3 plate cap was burnt and changed to a Millen ceramic type. Check your Globar, this one's fell apart. Fuse the primary and change the N fuseholder to an AGC type. I don't do bayonet fuses, wire links of #28 or Belfuses.

BTW since changing caps in the flyback area, the power transformer runs a lot cooler.
