I likely have enough new caps in my stocks to refresh the vertical stage....If you can't get them at the meet you can probably get them from me.

Yup~ I know what I was getting in too. I am using this TV to learn more about setting up and restoring old television sets like this.
I think I will take the option and just change the rest of the caps with new parts.
I meant to ask, did you test all the tubes in the set, as well? The Horizontal output tube looks pretty tired. It looks like a 6KD6 swaps with it, which I did manage to locate one.
