Got the transformer already!
Under the chassis would just be to hard and would require drilling holes, however it fits nicely next to the i.f. strip and the mounting holes were exactly right to use some existing holes in the chassis so no permanent mods at all.
I stuffed the wires through another pair of holes but haven't hooked them up yet.
This set has been recapped just enough to get some HV and show a line across the screen so the CRT is functional at least but I won't know how good it is till I get a raster.
I've heard too many stories about the 3KP4 popping the heater ( i have a extra 3KP4 with a blown heater) to take any chances, this one does fire up with a bright surge if turned on cold, I only let it do that a couple times before I decided to install a transformer.
