I worked on this set some more today. I replaced some paper caps and corrected some of the previous replacements. I am surprised this set works as good as it does with the hack repairs that were done on it. In several places, paper caps were replaced with ceramics that were doubled up. One cap in the horizontal section was not even the correct value. You can see the pile of nasty parts I pulled out of this set and there is still many more to go. After this work I figured I had better run the set again to make sure I had not messed something up in the process. Much to my delight it still works and the brightness control has better range and the contrast control functions better. The tuner is extremely dirty but I will save that for towards the end. I watched part of a movie on it and it really is a great performer. I made good progress but have a long way to go before I am satisfied with it.
