I hope that was an ok way to share photo's. Someone sure has been here before. A bunch of replaced resistors and the focus resistor/rheostat was replaced.

I really was excited to see someone use speaker wire down at the bottom to connect up a couple coils. That shows true dedication to do things the correct way. No, I was pretty upset when I saw the two speaker wire connections. What other shortcuts did the previous repair person do?

That focus pot looks pretty interesting. Micropot? I was able to rotate it more than one revolution so I'm not sure what's up with that. Is this not just a regular rheostat?

I should post a picture of the set powered up but since I'm about to recap I'd rather not worry about charged caps. It only has half a raster and draws a tad more current than its supposed to so its best for me just to replace all those leaky caps. 55 replacement caps from JustRadios... This will take a few days for sure..
