Hope everybody doesn't hate me, but today when I went to jump the 2.7 resistor,
I noticed I didn't put in a 2.7ohm, but a 2.7K ohm...
My resistor drawer, marked 2.7ohm, had a few 2.7k's mixed in.
I obviously didn't pay enough attention to the multiplier band, and was only focused on the red and violet.
I must be getting old as I mentioned earlier.
Sorry to waste everyone's time like that... I do appreciate the help.

There is now a clear picture, and the CRT is nice and bright!
Glad I rescued this from the dumpster.

The only thing now is the audio dies down pretty quickly and there is an annoying buzzing sound in the speaker. Volume is maybe halfway clear.
There's also some horizontal lines across the screen, I did try to carefully adjust a few horizontal pots in the back, but didn't do much...
I was able to follow the schematics guide to adjust the horizontal Drive, which did get rid of the center vertical lines though.
