JGlenn,

You mentioned you think there may be some missing parts. What do you think is missing?

My DD had several issues. In addition to the bad caps on the deflection board (some of which were cracked open), I found nearly all of the resistors on that board to be way out of spec. It has one of those "combination components" in the vertical section that was causing issues. I made a new one from scratch.

Don had mentioned a 1000 ohm 1/2 watt resistor in the tuner that had a high failure rate, and he was right. I found it to be way out of whack. I also found two 470k resistors in the tuner that went south. One was open and the other was reading nearly 1 meg.

When you take the chassis out of the set, you must first remove the escutcheon where the front controls are. There are two small screws that hold it in place at the top and bottom. The plastic on mine was somewhat brittle where the screws are, so be gentle when removing and replacing them. Once the escutcheon is removed, then you have screws that hold the 4 lower knobs in place... those screws and knobs will come off as well.

There is a small 3-position switch at the bottom of the escutcheon for range. It's not very noticeable at first glance. It should be kept in the middle position.

Seems I recall there not being a lot of good room under the chassis for mounting new electrolytics, so, if you don't go with re-stuffing the original cans, you might have to get creative in finding spots to mount the new replacements.
