Great!

I'd tweak the Ion tap for max brightness rotate either way a bit then move forward/back a bit...You never know if the last setting was best (it often ain't).

I notice that there is some vertical foldover at the top of the raster.
The Sams says check 12BH7 VOT.
One side checks ok and the other is in the yellow ? range. Could this be the cause.
The ion trap was right where it should be which means low HV or weak CRT (maybe it needs to "cook" for awhile)



BTW I think I figured out why the tube was glowing blue. I had swapped the 6SN7 osc tube with another one from the set. Maybe the oscillator is picky?.

Status of the set.
I replaced the 12BH7 vert, output tube to no effect. Still has foldover.
There is sound getting trough and I presume video but there is no sync.
Horizontal hold is at the one extreme there is maybe 10-15 horizontal lines.
Turn it too far the other way and HV cuts out and it makes unhappy noises.
Vertical hold appears to keep rolling as well. I have replaced the sync separator tube with another one with no effect.
I am guessing that I should check the voltages on the 12SN7 sync separator?
