After replacing the electrolytic & paper capacitors, plus assorted resistors, the chassis passed the smoke test and has reasonable B+ and filament voltages. After I lay my hands on a couple of new tubes and oddball caps, I'll be ready to try more interesting experiments.
Looking ahead to when/if I get a usable 21FBP22, I gather that I'll need to fabricate a new HV lead for the CRT 2nd anode and make some provision to prevent arcing from the anode button area to nearby hardware. I'm hoping to use the same yoke and other neck whatnots, since nothing else is available. If that's a false hope, someone tell me now!
