I've got this set working now!
It looks pretty good, I changed a few out of tolerance resistors, there weren't all that many actually. Still have to get a couple 100k 1 watt but everything else is done.
It had a bad section (short) in that multi section resistor that's riveted to the chassis so I replaced them with some individual ceramic resistors.
The originals were only rated at 2 and 4 watts, the new ones are 5 and 10 watts so they aren't running hot at all, I need to find a way to neatly install them though.
I had miswired a circuit in the HV cage, put a wire where it shouldn't have been and caused a short that dragged the B+ down and was smoking the 680 ohm resistor on the 25Z6, as soon as I cleared that up it started working.
The Vertical is short, swapping out tubes makes no difference, the two 100k resistors I need are in the Vertical circuit, one is reading 179k and the other is 130k, they are supposed to be 10% tolerance so they are badly out of whack.
One other problem is the socket for the 6C4 in the tuner, it's the one on the right front corner, it loses it's heater connection some times, I'll have to replace it or see if it's repairable, I hate replacing sockets, all those wires and drilling out the rivets, ugh.
The CRT I'm using here is shot, I use it for testing just in case something bad happens I won't break a good tube.
In normal light it's unwatchable but the Camera is much more sensitive so it works well for taking pictures
