Ok I got it recapped, and that bought me the contrast control and sound back. I replaced the focus rectifier tube and that got me colour back (not sure how that works). But I tried to replace the shunt tube and the rectifier tube in the HV cage with NOS tubes and that got me very low HV and the pic kept blooming away, The shunt tube was a 6el4, and the new one was a 6el4a.(I had a few of these and none worked) So I put back the originals. But as a whole a huge improvement, watchable picture, good sound, but still won't go that bright (the first 3/4 of the brightness control is a black screen). I don't have an HV probe yet so not sure if the HV is still low? or possibly something else.

Some pics!
