CRT went in. Only iffy part is the ion trap because of previously stated wiping my alignment mark off but I had an older photo indicating a rough location.
Also spent an hour dismantling and cleaning the five pots that were completely frozen up. Looks like the grease wasn't all that happy long term with the brass. One was so badly gummed up I had to use two pliers and the vice. After that was done they slid nicely and didn't seem to be too badly worn. We'll find out later.
Finally the set was powered up. HV charged and something appeared.
The picture deceives. There is a tiny amount of vertical deflection (it will stretch and shrink) but otherwise there's obviously a problem. There's also a terrible screech that changes in tone depending on the horizontal hold (Or something. NONE of the knobs are labled except for PICTURE and on/off/vol so I'm trying to determine them form the schematics) so for now I have that turned down. There's also an alignment issue. Turn the set off and the dot sits up in the corner. Probably a mix of the ion trap and the yoke being slightly out of adjustment.
