Today's progress: spent over three hours standing at a lathe
making a special HV connector to attach the cup connector
to the old connector. It been 15 years since I did extensive
lathe work, but I still remember it all.

Oh yes ... did I mention that I didn't take shop class
in high school ... rather, at Harvard. Yes, we had a noncredit
shop class in the chem department!

Tonight I attached the yoke and plugged in the H and V output tubes and the damper, and turned it on. It worked OK and nothing bad happened. I'm
using a horizontal output tube ostentatiously labeled "Fender" and not ostentatiously labeled "made in Russia".
