This set is much like the earlier home versions. Buy lots of capacitors. Then buy more. The trick to this set is the optics barrel. The picture will only be as good as the mirror on the bottom of the barrel. Re silvering is likely. Try not to disturb the mechanical adjustments on the barrel. They perform the mechanical focusing across the screen. The plastic lens on the top of the barrel is also part of the focus path. The CRT may have had some heavy use and the face will turn a tan color from the HV bombardment. It is not a hard CRT to find. The HV is a tripler system. 25kv! Lots of HV needed on the little CRT to make it bright enough to project in room light. When they work it is quite a good picture and very sharp for what it is. Good luck. Others please jump in..
