Stupid mistakes: even smart people can make them.
I spun my wheels on something stupid on the Silvertone CTC-15 I restored as my first roundy and my first color set that genuinely needed a resto to work...The thing had a shrinking monochrome raster when I powered it on a variac so I recapped it and then it had no HV. I went over the horizontal for well over a month, gave up, then needed to borrow the damper for another set I needed to take pics of for a college project...Then I realized the damper which had been fine on the first power up and initial tube testing had shorted after I recapped it...Then suddenly with a good damper inplace I was chugging through the resto again.
