I felt I was so close

that I had to keep going.

I replaced a couple more caps in the AGC circuit with no results and then I remembered, I have a factory service manual! I can check some voltages.

It didn't take long to realize the 140+ supply to the Video board was missing, like zero volts.

The supply is on the same board I had recapped a few weeks ago and came off of one leg of a 4.7 Cap that I had replaced, it was zero at that end too, and no wonder, when I replaced the cap there is a wire that is also soldered to one of the lugs, it's supposed to be on the + lug, I had attached it to the - side!

I quickly switched it around and...Picture!

Did a little adjusting and here's the result.

Vertical is stretched out but the adjustment is underneath so I'll wait until I have it put back together before I adjust it.
I still need to repair or replace the Circuit breaker, anyone have a 1.25 Sony breaker? I may simply put a fuse across it.

When I get it finished I want to get a picture of it with Ted Baxter on screen, maybe a picture of Ted on WJM's 1210 playing on my 1210, that would be kind of cool.
