THIS SET HAD CATARACTS. I'LL EXPLAIN HOW I FIXED IT LATER. BEFORE I DID ANYTHING, I PUT THE CRT CHECKER ON AND FOUND LOW EMISSION ON ALL THREE GUNS. THEN, I RAISED THE HEATER VOLTAGE TO ABOUT EIGHT VOLTS AND LET IT COOK FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THE EMISSION IMPROVED AND STOOD THERE WHEN I DROPPED THE HEATER BACK TO SIX VOLTS. I THEN DID A SOFT START. AFTER REACHING FULL LINE VOLTAGE AND ENABLING THE HIGH VOLTAGE, I GOT A PICTURE.
THE ELECTROLYTICS DID NOT REFORM TO MY SATISFACTION, SO THEY WERE REPLACED. ALL TUBES WERE TESTED AND SEVERAL HAD HEATER/CATHODE LEAKAGE.
I DID A FULL RECAP. THERE ARE SOME BUGS THAT STILL NEED WORKED OUT, BUT IT IS NOW SERVING AS MY DAILY WATCHER FOR NOW.
