The Saba seems to dislike being away from its old home. I went to turn it on for a run and check the CRT condition and waft of smoke emerged from the deflection panel.
Closer inspection revealed a badly cooked 1 ohm safety resistor for the vertical output module. A replacement that I fitted is able to withstand a few seconds of power without getting too hot but the horizontal stage is being excessively loaded by the current drawn through the resistor.
I now have to fault find the V out module.
