This tv almost works now. The main problem turned out to be a bad tube socket on the 3rd IF tube, I couldn't figure out why I had low voltages only on that tube and the vid. out, but nowhere else, until I shook the tube a bit while I had the meter connected and the voltage went right up. I bent the prongs and put the tube in a little crooked, to get it to work the best I could, but I am still loosing some voltage there, and am planning on just changing the socket.
After I got some picture, I found the horiz. was out of sync. This just turned out to be a bad cap C67 (originally .03 600v, was replaced some time back with a paper .047 600v that went bad), and C68 was changed with a more modern orange mylar cap, but it wasn't put back right, one side was hooked to R66, but the other side, instead of going to T1, went back to pin 3 of the horiz. osc. tube.
The picture is still not very good, low contrast, vert. retrace lines, I am hoping this is still due to the bad tube socket, and not the 7JP4.
After I put everything in properly and clean up things a bit it should improve, some of those caps I changed wern't quite the correct value, and most changes I made by just twisting wires or using wires with alligator clips rather than soldering stuff, because I knew I would take those caps out once I got the proper ones. Also one of the IF tubes is still the original one, and it reads a bit weak.
