Again, Thanks for all the encouragement and comments.
I took only two pictures today, and did the "ramp-up" heater test that I described above... full 6.3V and everything looks normal. Then I slowly brought up the voltage to the TV (horiz output tube plate connections pulled since it is a series set).
Observations:
Tubes light up, horiz osc runs, vert osc runs and appears to sync when channel is selected, sound on ch 5 ok (we still have a low power VHF analog), no hum, and no purple glow in crt (although with the horiz output disconnected, B+ boost is not being generated).
Any recommendations for the next step?... Plug on the plate caps and let 'er rip? or more tests to be careful?
