I have the same scene. Fortunately storage is not an issue but time really is. I just have to make up my mind what to work on with that limited time. I decided on the Sylvania 21C528W Halo I just got. I get up extra early just so I can get a half hour in before leaving for work. I cooked the CRT (at 6.3v) on my tester for that 30 minutes each of the last 3 days and it moved from .5 to 6, on a 0-10 scale. This morning I pulled the tubes and will test them while doing laundry tonight. The capacitors are VERY suspicious looking, so I will pull the two-section chassis and bring half into work for a lunchtime re-cap. I have even been restoring radios at my desk over lunch. Do what you have to do. My goal is to have the set looking good enough to bring in the house and watch Twilight Zone DVDs on it.
