Since the seller had demonstrated the radio (Loud and clear!) I wanted to see if I could get anything out of the TV.
Dragged it into the house and powered it up on the variac with an Amp meter, it draws about 1.1 Amps at 110V, pretty normal.
Got sound and can hear the Horizontal oscillator singing, albeit at the wrong frequency, but nothing on screen.
I could see a purple glow inside the 1B3 rectifier so it's generating some HV but swapping in a good 1B3 still gave me zero at the 2nd anode.
The Horiz and Vertical controls are really loose and sloppy, this set probably had sync issues for years that never got fixed.
