Finished replacing all the paper caps last night, worked on it more tonight. Found 3 resistors that got pretty hot at one time, checked and they were showing low resistance, so I replaced them. Fired it up and the horizontal was out of sync. Got that adjusted up and after some tweaking got a pretty nice pic . Hooked up the speaker and had nothing. Put in another audio output tube (6K6) in and had purple and sparks fly inside. Pulled it right away. Checked the voltage on the socket and had 250 volts on pin 5, suppose to have -9 volts . Found a capacitor lead from pin 4 up against a resistor lead on pin 5. After separating them, plugged in the tube and had sound .
Next up is cabinet work.
