I can get one, but In my years of working on tube radios I have never had problem after problem. It seems like I am not destined to own a running tube tv.But, it is my mission, and with the help of people in this forum I will make it happen. Doug

TVs take a bit more time and patience to restore than a typical five tube radio. When I did my Motorola, I took it one section at a time. First the low voltage power supply. After all, nothing else will work without it. Next, the high voltage section and sweep circuits. This way, I could at least get a raster. Often times the set will work at this point but the signal circuits still have to be recapped. Restoring a TV is like eating an elephant, you gotta do it one bite at a time.
