I finished recapping this, but it's not working at all, no (or very little) HV no sound, no nothing. The filaments do light. I tried messing with the ion trap just to be sure it wasn't that, but if I go to discharge the 2nd anode after the tv was running, I don't see any sparks, so I'm pretty sure my problem is no HV. Now the power transformer is making some kind of buzzing noise, but I checked the voltages in the power supply, and it looks ok. I also hear the yoke ringing when I turn the horiz hold control. I checked the 1 meg resistor in series with the 2nd anode, and it tests good. I checked voltages on the HO tube and the damper, but the schematic I have is not the same as what's in the set, even though it says it's for this model, so I don't know if I should trust the voltage numbers on there. I'll draw over my schematic to show what's in there, then post it later.
