BTW, if the ion trap was never moved, don't move it for now, until you establish reliable high voltage. If it has to be removed for disassembly, mark the trap and the CRT neck with a Sharpie marker so it can be replaced in the exact same position. Once the set is working well, you can try to adjust it for maximum brightness, but it might not be needed. Just a bit CW or CCW.

OK, well for right now I'll definitely try to replace any of the old capacitors in the unit first and see if that helps any with bringing back the picture any or helping with making the H-V section more reliable as it seems that the H-V section of the TV is somehow affected by me hitting the TV's cabinet when its assembled which is more than likely due to failing caps, in the TV.
What do you suggest as far as Capacitors to use in this TV set? I'm wondering because I know these sets used sometimes 1kV capacitors in them and 1kV caps aren't readily available anymore not even on most of your antique electronics restoration websites and even if they are they're quite spendy.
