This was delivered last weekend from the Washington DC 'burbs for the gas money.
First old TV I have really worked on in a while...

All the sweep and power tubes had been replaced. These tested OK, but tuner, IF and video tubes were very weak and/or showed shorts. Common for sets in strong signal areas.

The 21ZP4 Sylvania CRT was pretty sleepy and came up to 3/10 after a few hours.

I will plug tubes in and fire up w/o the 5U4s in...

Gotta love that fake-out with the UHF antenna screws - see photo next post, I was looking for a tuner before I got the back off.
