Getting back on track (finally) - I started to look at the set after a long time of ignoring it, and I find none of the tubes are listed on my old Realistic tube tester.
Anyway, my planned order of business:
Test all tubes and order replacements if needed
Pull TV chassis on both sets (coffin and CRT donor console) and stereo chassis on coffin
Pull dead CRT and get rid of it
Pull donor CRT, remove glass and clean/replace gasket
Install donor CRT
Cap census - purchase caps
Recap coffin TV and stereo chassis
Estimated time of completion August??
Besides finding a tube tester, I think I need someone to help put the coffin on its face for CRT replacement.
