Pulled the set out of the storage unit today after getting the 6ah6 I ordered. replaced all the caps I had replacements for ( not many) and now the horizontal and hv work dependably, and vertical which used to scream now sounds fairly correct. Also i have a strange inkling that the AGC is working if I turn up my variac a little the picture dims some then comes back up and if I turn it down it brightens back up for a second then dims back. Still no sound or video, if I shake the video amp the screen lightens and darkens and I get crackling and popping from the speaker so I'm pretty sure the tuners dead. Im thinking probably a section of a can elecrolytic is open and there's no voltage to the tuner. I'd check voltages but the box of tv books and schematics somehow got rained on and are now useless so i have to fly blind. anyway here a picture of my progress.
