The ones I have are 4 feet long and they came with a test crt I bought on ebay. There's one for the crt, two for the yoke, one with that octal plug and the other has alligator clips, and an extender for the high voltage lead.

Gregb: where did you ever come across the set of extender cables? Are they available in Canada, since I can't seem to find them on the web. Can one buy them, or find them on e-bay? I understand I can't set up the adjustments until it's back in the cabinet, but it would make for good rough testing as I recap and do repairs to the set. It would make it much easier for me (since I have back problems), instead of getting down on the floor to work on the set, as that is really hard for me. I'll first will tackle the power supply, electrolytic's, etc. The small raster (if you can call it that), indicates definitely that it needs new caps in the power supply and will also be replacing the selenium rectifiers with diodes. I don't intend to run it much more (probably not at all), until at least the power supply is taken care of.
