I got a working GE Portacolor and a Zenith 25MC33 roundy with a good CRT and a HV problem.

Someone partially recaped the Zenith in the past, and it has good hum free sound. Every horizontal tube except the HV rect. and HV reg. was either weak(osc. tube), shorted(HOT and damper), or missing(focus rect). With new tubes it don't want to make more than 1KV of HV. It does not do any better with the horizontal plate drive signal from my B&K 1076 so I suspect the damper area is the problem. Wish I had a schematic for this set so I could troubleshoot the horizontal easier.

I also sold everything I brought...It surprisingly paid for everything I bought except for 3$ of LPs I'm over joyed that I effectively traded stuff I've lost interest in for stuff I want with a net reduction in physical volume of sets coming back home.
