Recent developments: The wire connecting the 400v to the red and blue was broken, I changed it, now green and blue are at 350v, red is at 190v. I have all 3 colors on the screen, but the color is all wrong. Tint and color controls are still completely inneffective.
Last night the crt socket got loose and would only work if I held it, so I took it off, it wasn't hard to get off (none of the wires were broken some just must have come loose). I spent about 8 hours trying to put it back on, finally what I did was to thread some solder through the pins of the base, then solder the solder to the wires, then it just pushes right on, and you use the solder to solder it back.
I tested all the tubes and replaced the bad ones a while ago. Now I had replaced the 6GU7s with 6AX8s, I happened to have them and one of those tube substitution books said it would work. Thanks for the ideas, I will check more of this out later tonight.
