Watch out for mice.....OMG!!!

Got that bumblebee in, and also redid the connections on the socket on the back of the picture tube (they wiggled loose). I've got audio now, as in it actually picks up an over the air agile modulator broadcast. Good sign there

But, I assume, no HV. Close up eye shot reveals absolutely no glow whatsoever in those funky HV rectifiers. Since they can't really be checked, might as well start searching out replacements?

Couple notes: flyback looks like brand new, and replaced the .0004 @ 10 kV cap in the HV section already, with all leads dressed properly. Picture tube tests good.

Is the horizontal oscillator running? Horizontal output working? The filaments are supplied voltage by 2 windings on the HOT. Unlikely (but possible) that *both* the 5642s have open filaments.

Edit add: Perhaps unsolder the little critters and test as Electronic M suggests.
