Well, this set stayed in my basement until recently, when my GE CTC136 chassis popped it's flyback and I pulled the Sylvania out to put in it's place. The Sylvania played for a few minutes and shut off. At which time, I put it to the side and pulled out a Zenith to use.

Here lately, I've been under pressure to get rid of some things and I pulled the Sylvania out to see if it was an easy fix. All I can tell you at this point is when you turn it on, the HV comes up and the set goes into shutdown. Clipping a meter to the 112V line so that I can see what the B+ is before shutdown tells me that the B+ is running way too high. The switching SCR test questionable (in circuit) and, at that point, I put it back together (I don't have the time or the bench space to really dig into it right now). Later, I may dive into it or it may end up going to the dump. On one hand, I hate to toss it; but, on the other hand, I can't keep everything.
