I powered the set up.
First with the low voltage rectifier removed. All the tubes lit up. Then with the low voltage rectifier in but the H output tube plate cap removed. I measured 263 volts! Riders says 265 volts. I received good audio from a local OTA broadcast! Then on goes the H output tube cap connection. No raster. Bummer. Then I remembered the ION trap. Moved it around a little. Nice bright raster!
Hooked up my converter box and now the audio isn't so good on channel 4. But I got a picture! Horizontal sync needs lots of help. I'll bet its a mica cap. All-in-all, this set looks like it'll do good.
