But a better way to to just wave a neon bulb around the area..... The electromagnetic
field will make the gas glow at above 50v.... Don't touch the wires from the bulb to
anything, and don't touch them, you'll get a shock.....

Be sure the horizontal output tube does not overheat. If the horiz. osc. is not
running the horiz output tube will overheat and the plate will begin to glow red hot...
You don't want that..... If it's not getting hot, then you may have lost one of the b+
supplies, or a bad fuse in the flyback if this set has one.....

You should hook up a speaker and see if you get sound, that may tell you if you get
some of the lower b+ supplies....

Look to power supplies first, also look to be sure you didn't pull off a wire or something
when you took the chassis out.... Good luck...

There is a set of two fuses one looks blown but they are near what I think is the agc board and not near the flyback but that may be a problem.
