Sweet. Those sets make a GREAT pic, stunning sharpness actually.
Lots of wax caps but a very rooming chassis. One thing you may want to do is make sure you buck the AC voltage down to less than 120vac. They operate just fine at 110 and the pic width is better (does not over scan so much) and the fly runs much cooler.
there is some asbestos lining that I suspect is fine, just be aware of it and try not to disturb it. Also there are some problematic WW resistors mounted on the back as a long multi affair. its somewhat fragile where the terminals stick thru the chassis for connections. I have had them open or short out against the chassis and again its got an asbestos strip insulating it so be aware if you need to mess with it.
the fact that it produces a raster may indicate that it lived in a very well conditioned enviroment that may have allowed the wax caps to stay somewhat ok. If you recap it (which you should of course) I would be interested in how the old caps check for leakage. I have found one out of dozens of sets that had good wax caps all the way thru it (an old AM radio). I suspect it came from a dry area. I still replace them but it was the 1st time I cam across a set where they all checked ok.
