Those are great TV's. Before you do anything else, make sure the safety cap has been updated to the orange drop. If it still has the white cap (which, I doubt), it needs to be replaced before you turn it on again.

There's an electrolytic cap in the horizontal driver circuit that will cause picture pull-in and eventual shorting of the HOT.

Back in the mid '90's, I bought one of these for fifty cents at a church rummage sale. The tripler was arcing and created quite an odor. After replacement, it was an excellent TV.

Its a 17" E-line or poss F. Abt '74 or '75 I think they had better pix than the
19", always liked them. For the width also check the 1.5 ohm
resistor in the HOT base. For safety cap I dont see the label
we put on them. It may have separate 22-5001 caps on
the flyback & the bottom chassis. Change them all if it uses
them. If it has one big one with 4 wires under the HOT
heat sink change it if its white.
Up to run 400 uses separate caps.
Run 401 up uses one big cap.
good luck
