not sure where to get a doorknob , i did buy some 15kv 470pf caps from mouser that will sub , you could always pull one from another set that you know is good just to test , or if you disconnect the one in the dumont and bring the set up on the variac and try to feed the set with 100 to 105 volts ac from the variacit should be safe and you may get an answer if the doorknob is at fault , had one take out hv in a rca , a dumont that uses three doorknobs had one that was bad and it caused all kinds of issues with not enough hv and a dim image............ i just noticed you still have the horz output tube in the socket when testing the fly , your supposed to remove it and the hv retifier and the damper , but the damper probably isn't in that hv box , i have the same set and have yet to restore it
