Pretty much the same. Barely discernible, washed out image that repeats horizontally.
Note this set is some kind of transitional model or oddball. Aside from an occasional different value, the set, although it matches the schematic that I posted, looks more like a later model, with the tuning knob on top, not on the side.
The dead diode I replaced was a dual diode (series arrangement) with one leg unconnected, just as in the year later schematic. The year later schematic has an almost completely different tube compliment. I can post that one as well.
I’ve pretty much replaced every wax and electrolytic capacitor and only left in originals that tested within tolerance. I haven’t really messed with the ceramics.
