Also, a quick update on the color problem.

Since my vertical is finally back, I decided to go ahead and plug in a video source to get the geometry locked again. In doing so, I noticed that I was no longer seeing that color line.

I wasn't happy with how cramped measuring on the top was, so I decided to do a few voltage tests from the bottom. I had to remove an RF shield to get there, but I was able to uncover the pins for the 8BU11. Reverified pins 3 and 10, those are still a little above 200V, but now pin 9 is reading just above 130V. So it looks like whatever wasn't working is now working again.

My current theory is that the tube pin itself was dirty. I never did clean those, probably should but I always get so excited to dig into the obviously bad capacitors that I skip that step. I've removed that tube a few times and I'll bet in the process of removing and installing it, I eventually cleared the block. I'll keep an eye out to see if it comes up again but I'm cautiously optimistic.

So right now my only remaining issues are the bad video output tube, which is on its way, and possibly that brightness issue I pointed out. Once I fix those, I can clean up the cabinet a bit, do some geometry and color adjustments, and this thing should be good to go (hopefully).
