Question First power up

I found this tag just before powering the set up. I wonder what RePhased means


I'm using a dummy load in place of the 7JP4 filament and left the speaker disconnected. I have an isolation transformer and variac on the AC line. I added an extender test socket to the 25Z6 so I can monitor the B+


No explosions, no smoke and B+ seemed OK so I installed a 7VP1 CRT.


It shows signs of life
No picture or sound, but it's alive





I fired up my B&K 1077B and was able to get a picture of sorts and a bit of sound. That's all for tonight. All in all, not too bad.
