I hooked up a test speaker, popped in a fusistor and slowly bright it up on a variac until I achieved full B+.
Only the tubes weren't lit up until I wiggled that tube in the broken socket again. I'm definitely going to have to replace it!

After fiddling a bit with the tuner, I heard our LPTV channel 6 coming through the speaker


I removed the screw locking down the CRT and popped it off the chassis.
I'll lay down some padding on my workbench so it doesn't get damaged and hook it up next.
