Thanks for the responses thus far!
I'm really in no hurry to jumpstart the TV, so I think I'm going to take my time and play it safe and at least test the filter and HV caps before proceeding. I do want to test the CRT, even though I've seen pics of it working from the previous owner.
I have some problems with the CRT tester (B&K 465) and am prioritizing that a bit, replacing some aging components, such as totally open and dry Sprague Atoms, and treating oxidation. The meter is wacked out and quite inaccurate and so I probably need to replace diodes - but thats a topic for another time.
BTW, I've taken a picture of the removal procedure from the Sams in case anyone's interested. Step 6 seems the most tricky!
Someone mentioned the UHF tuner. Yes, it's pretty cool that it has that option, even though it seems like it's basically unusable these days (?) And, yes the UHF dial cord has broken off. Here's a pic of the dial cord diagram from the Sams...
And here's the other side of the chassis, where the party's at. I'm pretty much all "Mousered Up" so I have what I need for a recap...Even a 1KV .015!
