Thank you, that's correct, it is not an electrolytic, and yes, that is exactly what I was trying to do - trying to get a working baseline before going into the complex restoration, in case more problems would get introduced during restoration, which is quite common. I really don't like the fact that main board needs to be pulled, a lot of wires need to be removed, then restorer has to shotgun the board, then put everything back together to run any proper test of TV.
Notimetolooz, I really do not appreciate snarky comments and assumptions about my qualifications, as in both of your responses, which had no useful information so far. Quite a few other people already responded with a lot of help. And yes, I am more than qualified to restore a TV, but was and still am looking for information on restoration of this particular model.
Either way, couplets and vacuum tubes have been ordered. Still talking to HH to finalize multi-section electrolytic order. Then will order whatever I don't have (last big electrolytic and whatever other small parts) from digikey.
