I hooked this thing directly to the DVD player instead of using over the air with the Agile Modulator, after a bit of fiddling I got a really decent picture, the sound was weak and had static like a control was arcing, I started tapping around on the controls and the field coil of the speaker and it started getting better and better, now it has reasonably good sound, not sure if something was shorted or what but it cleared it up.
This is the slowest warming set I've ever seen, it takes at least a full minute before I hear the oscillator kick in, did I read somewhere it has some voltage dependent resistors in the heater string? Possibly those black round things in the HV cage?
The pictures a little cockeyed and I had to remove the focus magnet so it would center on the 5AXP4 test CRT but it's bright, has great contrast and no retrace lines.
