Nice work on the Tele-Bar. That's a really unusual set. Congratulations on your first TV project!
You know, that chassis looks _just_ like the one in your other Admiral (the one where you said the picture tube was weak). Check the numbers, they may very well be the same. Do both sets use the same picture tube?
If they're the same, you can do a quick test with the other tube/yoke, and see just how watchable (or unwatchable) the tube is, and get a feel for trying to bring back a weak tube with a picture tube tester. For example - if you cook the filament on a higher voltage, say, 7 or 8 volts for a few hours, then bring it back to 6.3, and let it stabilize, you can bring back emissions.
Keep up the good work!
