I finished the recapping tonight and have been working on the set for the last 4 hours.

I complicated matters somewhat by leaving a capacitor unconnected at one end and forgetting to solder the ground wire on one of the stuffed cans but I did finally get a picture on it, not a very good one either.

The HV rectifiers must be weak, the HV drops like a stone when the brightness is turned up, either that or the .001@10k ceramic caps aren't a very good sub for the .0005@10k Sprague paper caps, I would think they should be fine since they are double the value and are just for the doubler circuit.

I went ahead and bought a couple NOS Sylvania 5642's to put in it, they were only $4 each.

The Flyback setup on this set is more than a little bit of a pain in the butt to work on, you have to unbolt the yoke to remove the cage since it's all one piece.

The other problem I noticed is the Phasing is off, I have a picture split right down the middle with the left half on the right side and the right side on the left, oh well, one step at a time.
