I stayed up late list night I finally tried to power it up The 8XP4 test CRT is at add odd angle because of the stiff spring around the HV lead.

As soon as I tuned in channel 6, I god strong clear sound No picture though and no HV.


I discovered the 1/4 amp flyback fuse was open and tacked a new one across it.
013

Yay! A blurry raster


After some more control twiddling, I got a blurry but stable image.


I figured the image was blurry because of the focus coil messing up the auto focus CRT. It's part of the power supply so can't be disconnected but I was able to unmount it.


Ah, much better


Next up, I'll test all the tubes and do some more tweaking.
