Well, this should be the final progress report on this set. Got the sweep generator in and went through a complete alignment. It was a learning experience and took a bit of head scratching to get through, but the sound now nicely tracks with the video on all channels.
Thanks to a photo that Phil sent, I found a suitable pilot light jewel in my junkbox (from a scrapped Eico oscilloscope!), and installed it. Brought the cabinet home and reinstalled the chassis, speaker, and CRT. After tweaking everything to work with a 10BP4 rather than the 5" test tube, the set is playing in my living room, fed from the composite output from my satellite receiver.
Only thing left to do is find some suitable wood screws to reattach the back, and move it into the corner where it will live. Will place an order for the control decals at some point to put the finishing touch on the project.
Thanks to everyone who offered help and tips during this project!
