Ok, I am going to try and resist plugging the old Philco in for now. I'm already on the hunt for a used variac, and if I can't get ahold of one sooner rather than later I'll give the light bulb method a try I guess. Is there a particular voltage that is recommended for initial power-up?
Yes that's correct, I only tested the heater circuit - but if I remember right that was supposed to be a pretty good sign for the CRT if it passed? I do have an old CRT Tester/Restorer that I scored at a flea market last year, but it probably needs to be restored itself.
Today is my birthday, and the best present I could get would be to see a snowy white raster on that picture tube!!!
