Heathkit GR-53A color TV

[Ralph S]

I got a Heathkit GR-53A 21" roundie as part of deal to buy an early RCA color set and had stashed it for sometime. I've recently pulled it out of storage to see if I can get it running. Have any of you worked on this model set and if so what sort of problems did you run into? I'm very close to having the whole thing recapped and have found a number of unsoldiered connections which I've fixed and a few questionable diversions from the published schematic which I've corrected. Any thoughts or caveats to relate?

PS: The picture tube is in great shape electronically (very good emission,) but has the usual cataracts which will have to be removed.
