My first Tv set!

Phil suggested getting the schematic and while it isn't always a neccesity I think it is a good idea here. Many of the caps in these sets are color coded instead of marked with their ratings. They can be hard to decipher oftentimes.

Take your time-it can be hard to be patient since you are going to be anxious to see this going again-but there are lots of oppurtunities for mistakes. I can tell you from my experience that some of my toughest problems to diagnose were not due to failed components but due to my own negligence. Globs of solder that shorted something out, parts wired to the wrong place, etc.
