I restored this TV for a customer/friend, and had lots of fun and many hours getting it to work again, but it was well worth it. I had to replace all the wax capacitors, several burn't and out of tolerance resistors, the vertical output transformer (open primary), and disconnected and subbed all the electrolytic cans with caps underneath mounting them on new terminal strips. Cleaned the tuner and all controls, tube sockets, etc, and of course cleaned up the dusty chassis. CRT (10BP4) is a bit slow coming up to brightness, but once on for 2 or 3 minutes picture looks perfect. (The photos didn't take very good with my I-phone, but honest the picture has a very good image, brightness and contrast). Horizontal linearity, and width coils do very little, but they do make some effect. Wiring to those coils, I traced out and retraced, and all caps that I replaced are within specs. Picture looked very good so called it done. It's like going back in time watching shows like Adam 12, and Superman on a 1949 Bakelite Admiral. The set is a year older than I am, as I'm turning 64 next month.
