Thanks guys! Just waiting on one .001mfd cap that I forgot to add to my order, then the recap will be finished. Also checked, and replaced out of tolerance resistors. I added a 250 pfd capacitor, and 220k resistor to clear up the retrace lines, and it's a success! Two things that would be awesome finds are a better face plate/bezel for the crt. I got mine ok shape with metal polish and Novus, but it is still quite yellowed and a little cloudy. I'm not sure if wet sanding more material off the surface will get it clearer, or if the yellowing is all the way through the material. It must have been exposed to a lot of sunlight. Also a stronger 7jp4 crt, or even better a nos. It's very dim at first, but comes up enough after about 5-10 minutes to watch in a dim room. If the brightness is turned up too much the image goes negative. I've played it for about 10-12 hours, and everything seems stable at this time. At least now I can watch a movie while finishing the detail on the little squares where the speaker is!
