This set is coming along pretty well, replacing all the paper caps really didn't make it work any better than it did when I got it, the picture was shrunk up and folded over at the top.

I replaced the last electrolytics tonight and that did the trick, I left one filter can alone since it's a replacement Sprague and it seems to be fine.

I'm not sure how good this CRT is, emissions are OK but it just doesn't seem all that sharp, I tried another one and it seemed somewhat better.

One thing that made a big difference was plugging it directly in to the wall instead of the Isolation Transformer, the voltage drop on my little 5 amp transformer is significant, I have to remember to remove it if I'm having a problem getting the picture to fill out on a set.
