Back on topic.
I cleaned the VHF tuner(with a pencil eraser) and restrung the UHF tuner. The restring was simple enough to figure out without a diagram or sams(worst thing I could have done is make something move in reverse relative to something else). I also cleaned the tuner/control sub chassis pots and switches with WD-40(I lubed some other stuff too while I was at it).
I'm going to hold off on messing with the power switch since, judging by the number of contacts, this set has instant on which would make replacing it or removing it from circuit complicated without the sams.
I think I'll check all the caps, the deflection resistors, and the scary looking resistors then give it a go on the variac and see if there is life when I get the chance.
