You missed the B+ rectifier diode off the powerline and the UHF tuners also usually had a mixer diode.

It's been a while since I've updated this thread, thought I'd bring everyone up to speed on things. I changed the lone ceramic/paper-wax capacitor on the HV side. Still getting some horizontal warp on high contrast images (even with a weak signal) and have yet to find its cause. I have not performed an alignment yet, so far it yields visible lines up to 3.0MHz on a multiburst bar sweep pattern. Would an alignment produce a higher response?

Also I've noticed that the HV hum is EXTREMELY LOUD. Is this normal or is the flyback being over driven?

lastly, thank you very much, Findm-Keepm, for the parts! So far I've installed the antenna and the UHF knob, but yet to install the V-hold knob as the "striptrol" is an absolute pain to get into x.x
