Well, this tv was really messed up. Someone (probably back in the 50s looking at the parts he used) replaced about half the resistors in this set, and often used the wrong values and hooked one end up to the wrong place, sometimes even hooking it around the wire of the old resistor without any solder. He also changed some of the cans (with not exactly the same ones) and screwed up trying to rewire. And a large number of the resistors (both original ones, and changed ones) were bad. Tubes were even in the wrong sockets.

I went through this set component by component with the schematic, and am now just waiting on a order of resistors to get any further. That large 20W horiz damper filter resistor was open among others I didn't have in my parts drawer. I haven't tested the tubes yet either, or put the electrolytics in the power supply chassis. This set's also going to need a lot of cosmetic stuff too (refinishing the cabinet, getting rust off the top of the chassis, new dial cord) but I'm just working on getting it running first.

Here's a pic of what the chassis looks like now, and some of the "classy" work left behind by the last guy to work on this from the power supply chassis.
