Marlin,
I just finished recapping my set, be prepared when you tackle yours. They must have installed some of the caps before the chassis was built or had some tiny assemblers
Also there are 3 caps "hidden" behind the vertical output transformer that I found tracing a short on one of the B+ lines.
Most of the wirewound resistors either were bad or went bad during the test power up stage.
Also found that the schematic in Riders doesn't match the circuit 100%, I found a few parts in the chassis that weren't on the schematic and of course one was a WW resistor that was open and the value was burned off.
I have an unstable picture now, no vertical or horizontal lock that may be caused by a shorted video output tube or something more.
Not an easy set to work on.
