I didn't plug it in before the recap. The caps looked horrible, and I didn't trust them....I knew from experience that there was no way I was gonna get anything on screen unless I replaced those 6 kV deflection caps, anyway.

The only thing in the entire set that looks like a real abortion is the horizontal sweep transformer. New leads soldered on inside, and a wrapping of black tape on the outside. I'll assume that it's working though, since it has horizontal sweep.

I'll try tube substitution next. I just thought that it was really odd that I'm getting what sounds like horizontal sync bleeding into the audio.
