Had to remove the whole chassis.. Looks like a cap has exploded entirely.. Probably got struck by lightning, I thought that was a fuse of sorts until I saw reminisce of a film cap.. I did try and power up on a variac, with ohm meter before I work the chassis out and at 60 volts it started to spark, meter was only reading .4 amp.. Has to just disconnect everything, some wires I don't know what goes where.. Have no choice other than to remove everything and then see what can be done with the cabinet.. If I would have left everything in, it would have just falling completely apart and I don't want pic tube to get damaged.. Now don't know where to go with the cabinet.. I'm not an expert at wood work..

Talk about 60 years of nicotine.. Wires are all slimy and the stuff just sticks to your hands and don't want to come off..






Red is looking better




Pic Tube = Spirit of 76 rebuilt of sorts
