Tried to tap on the chassis and some other components, but nothing.
The screen only blinked on with sweep a few times, can't seem to do it again though... the pins all seem fine in the vertical tube.

My other thought was, that when I ran out of paper caps,
I used a .033 film capacitor for the .035 paper axial cap, and two .0033 Orange Drops paralleled together for the .0068 axial paper cap.
These caps were right off the vertical tube socket,
I was wondering if that might be a problem, substituting those type?
