It arrived in fine shape and I have several cubic feet of pellets left over.

Powered up just fine. The CRT is tired but useable. Pic gently blooms up and down with the brightness control. A quick screen/drive adjustment gave a good pic. AGC adjustment helped a bit. Focus is dull. Red convergence needs a touch-up.

A complete tube change should help. Need Sams 1032-2 to see if this one has the focus terminals. DC resto is still missing on this one. Color adjustment has enough for several sets. All as I remember with Portacolors.

The only problem is the tint control. Pic is just a bit off on the green side and the control does nothing other than shifting the color to the right like a delay-line control at one end of the control.

Pics upload not working right now. Will try to edit tomorrow.

But the cat likes it as a warm place to sleep. All is well.
