New Project Tele-Tone TV 149

[skylinesys]

Greetings everyone, My first post here, and my first vintage TV project. I picked up an Tele-Tone TV 149 on eBay. It's in pretty rough shape, but after a good refinishing it should look awesome. I will provide a link to some photos.

My plan is to refinish first then re-stuff the can caps and then move on to doing the re-cap. This will be my first time doing any of this so hopefully I can pull it off and have it still work and look like a TV in the end ;-)

When it comes time to apply power, can I simply set a VCR or RF Converter to Channel 3 and TV to the same and expect that to work? In the end a DVD player playing on it would be ideal. Is that possible?

Like I said this all new to me, so if anyone has any guidance that would be greatly appreciated. I have no ideal how to check over the picture tube or test it, how to test tubes without a tube test and so on. I don't have many tools.
