Fixed my crt tester (I think), picture tube tested dead. I replaced 2 cans' worth of filter capacitors and fired it up.

It's kinda blurry, have the focus magnet at max. Could be the yoke is not all the way on. (Have a feeling someone's going to say tube is bad, I mean, probably, but it lights up, so...) CRT appears to have a spot burn. It's not terribly bright, but I'd think watching in a lit room would be marginally possible. Couldn't hear the HV or vertical at first and I was kind of disheartened. Maxed the horizontal hold and then I could hear it. Vertical is really quiet though. Played with the ion trap for about 10 minutes - thinking I wasn't gonna get any light on the tube - before finding out that it likes hanging out all the way back on the plug cap... which is unfortunate because it's completely broken. I tried flipping it but it's still as far back (single magnet).

So far, not bad for all original wax paper bombs and half the tubes being bad or marginal.
