After working on it all night, and fixing 3 bad resistors goofing up the horizontal sync and 1 bad solder joint messing with the AGC, it works.
Now I just have to replace some of these goofy temporary repairs I have in there, then I can put it back together. When you're working on a set late at night, you can't go to the store for parts, so you have to make do with what is around. I got one 1/2w resistor where it calls for a 2w, and for a .015 - 1000v cap I didn't have, I had to put two of these huge 35kv film caps in parallel. And that coil still is bypassed, but it doesn't seem to make much difference.
Another discrepency, this time between my set and both schematics, the horiz hold control is an adjustable coil with a tap in the middle. Between the middle of it and the side that hooks to ground, the schematics show a 2200mmfd capacitor. My set doesn't have it. Figuring that 2200mmf (or pfd) = .0022 mfd, I tried adding .002 mfd cap that I had, but with that cap in there the horiz sync is way off, without it it is fine.
And I'm thinking about recapping the remote reciever, it works good, but not perfectly, the channel changer does work perfectly, but the volume up/down on/off doesn't work every time you press it. And it is full of more of those notoriously bad 'black beauty' capacitors.
