1953 Zenith - What to do now?

One last thing word of warning, CRT's can bite you, even when off they store a charge so you need to discharge the anode before messing about with them. Also in general the B+/boost etc... can bite as well as charged filter caps, there are lethal voltages associated with tube gear in general so it is assume you are aware of this and take nessasary precautions. Lastly be aware that the CRT can implode shooting glass and metal parts everywhere, again dangerous so you need to either read up on how to handle or stay away. Don't want to scare you off, but feel the need to make sure you know what your in for.
