Yeah, I clean up all the terminals where I can. Once "cleared out", I clean them with alcohol, then it is as if I were assembling the TV for the first time.
I'm all done replacing the caps and all the resistors except one in the tuner. It was buried and I didn't want to dig that deep into the tuner. The rest of the tuner's resistors, mica caps, and the sole dual disc cap were replaced.
I did a quickee test with the 14" CRT. Everything works. Excuse the quality of the picture that's because the CRT was just set in the tv and hooked up. The yoke and the focus coil weren't adjusted yet, that will come later when the final assembly takes place.
Now on to finishing cleaning up the chassis and bits to ready them for final assembly.
