Making progress
I replaced the last three paper caps tonight.
I was having a problem with the brightness, the range was from too way bright and blurry, to burn the phosphors off the screen bright!
Turned out to be a leaky Cathode bypass cap (C46), it was a Mica-Mold domino style plastic case cap, replaced it and now it goes from complete black, to very bright.
I'm even getting a little bit of sound, it's very low though, possibly the 6V6 is near dead from running it without a speaker but more likely it's somewhat out of alignment.
the sync is very twitchy, it jumps vertically at scene changes and flops out of horizontal now and then.
It still has the retrace lines (except with the brightness way down) but the CRT is sharp and bright.
