I ran the set probably less than a minute total at full 120v.. Nothing seemed to be burning out.. I started to smell the scent of burning dust, the horizontal output tube was the only thing I removed and also the HV lead with sucksion cup that connects to pic tube so I can remove the chassis.. I tested all the tubes, and there are alot of tubes with grid leakage, shorted, or weak.. I'm not going to power it up anymore until I get the horz osc coil replaced, tubes replaced, coils replaced, and the .047 600v cap replaced. Then I'll do a slow power up with lamp in series with 200watt bulb, and with all HV connected..

I tried the lamp procedure with a 100watt bulb and it didn't seem to work...
