Many on this forum don't believe in powering up an old set without using a Variac or at least, a series lamp limiter.
I'm in this line so long, I take a few more chances.

I have neither a Variac or a series lamp limiter. Given that the tv works in its current state would I be fine with turning it on with just the horizontal re-cap or do I need to have one of the two?
Hey thank you guys for all the assistance and resources! I really appreciate it. I didn't have much time, but I messed around with the sine wave adjustment and it didn't produce any real change until it was at the end of its travel. Next week I will be able to sit down and figure out what capacitors I need and work on giving the horizontal section a re-cap and going from there. Since I've never done any real tv repairs I have a few concerns. Firstly, how does one properly discharge the tube? And is there anything I should know in the way of possible dangers?
