I think we all do from time to time, that's why this site is so great. Test the CRT, but many crts test weak after sitting dormant for a long time. Let it sit in the tester a little while before giving up on it. I've had many sets with weak crts, still produce a watchable picture. Absolutely replace all of the electrolytics first before doing a slow power up. Once restored, that should be a nice set. Great find!

I don't know how to test a crt. I do have an old tube tester somewhere... I was thinking about just doing a recap and crossing my fingers. Also would it be ok to test the tv by using a 40 watt light bulb as a resistor?
