Welcome! You have some good equipment (much of it better than one I'm used to working with!) and the Photofact can be invaluable. Some questions: what were the symptoms when the set was last used? What tubes do you suspect? We can walk you through this. If you need tubes or any other parts, just ask on here, one of us may have what you need. (I likely have all the tubes for that model, new old stock) Was the picture tube in good shape? If it were mine, I'd probably bring the voltage up slowly with a variac and see what it does. The worst that can happen is that a filter cap can be bad, and you would need to watch for that. They need to be changed regardless. Whether you do that before or after diagnosing other problems is subject to debate.
Best of luck- we will get you through this!
