Here it is after a bit of cleaning. Axial electrolytic and two white ElMenco caps have been replaced. Also replaced the thermistor.
Will resume trying to reform the original caps with a slow power up.

Just for assurances, we always changed the cap that couples the drive from the horizontal oscillator plate to the HOT grid. Saves tubes, prevents callbacks, and extends flyback life. Any good brand polypropylene cap of same value voltage will do. This goes for any RCA or RCA clone set like yours.
