Update: after checking the tubes found about half questionable or bad, replaced them and then went into the hv cage... WOW the cap came right off the 6gb6, replaced that and then the lead broke or was burnt off, fixed that... Now here is the kicker... the 1b3 had a huge crack!!! the elements and wires inside this tube are rusted and corroded!!!!! replaced that, now I am thinking how long ago did this happen. put the cage back and noticed the anode wire was loose and the end was clipped to the plastic mask!!!!! resoldered that and made sure there was connection to crt bell. And now the smoke test, after about 20 seconds I was rewarded with a nice btight horiz line with about 3/4 in deflection.... yeah!! yeah!! I will post pix when it's done but I still need to recap,Does anyone know where I can find a Sams, I cant find one anywhere the # is suposed to be 109-11
