This set is not wanted as a daily watcher. So, it is my philosophy only to replace bad or weak parts until the set can be used for occasional operation. I don't like the look of a vintage chassis with modern parts. And when I replace caps for example, I left the original ones on the chassis.
Currently, I am still operating these vintage sets occasionally. I do not know who will own my collection when I passed away. But I believe that the ability to keep the sets running will diminish. Even today, I need many tools to operate the sets (115V mains transformer, television standard converters, digital to analog converters, and so on.) I assume that those people who will get these sets in the future would use them only for exhibitions or research purposes, and therefore it is recommended to keep them as original as possible. But this is my philosophy, this must not yours.
Vertical is not working in your set. Do you have the schematics? Did you measure the voltages at the vertical tube?
