Watch current & turn on for a second, should be abt 1A or
a little more. Do a few more times longer each time. If OK
start turning up the voltage. After the CRT warms current
should settle down at abt 3/4 amp.

Unless you know the set there are no guaranties but this is
old so probably safe to do. Sets that blew out are super rare.
I would NEVER do it to a mid 70's Sony.

BTW dont forget to plug the DGS coil back in !
Assuming the Sony isn't already blown.

I'm sure I'll need that info eventually, so thanks from me too.
