Some progress has been made.. With a VCR connected, my first thought was that I was getting no input signal response. However, I did detect an audio output with the set's volume set at max. Very low, but there. Since there was audio I started to look for video by playing with the various controls and finally found it somewhat. It seem as though with the brightness and contrast both set to minimum there is a viewable signal. Not great, but viewable.
Since it is there, what do you think I should be doing next?
I am going to check over components in the audio section, but don't expect to find much and as far as the video goes it seems as though every thing is way too bright. There is nothing I can adjust to obtain a black.
Now that I have an input source I will attempt to record a test pattern.
Can I test voltages with the CRT disconnected? It is still fastened within the cabinet and I really do not have room for it on the bench.
Also wondering if this is more likely component or alignment issues.
