I got it working. The picture is awful, as you would expect from the word description and numbers on
the IF and overall curves, which is 2.1 MHz wide at the -6 dB points. The pictures of the alignment
results seem to indicate that the sound carrier bump should be adjacent to the video one ... not so.

I had trouble with the HV and boost disappearing. This is probably due to a
bad connection at the damper or Horiz osc tube. I cleaned them with DeOxit
and it goes away.

This set does not have an insulated CRT anode connection (!) making
measurement easy. Its good to have an HV probe, I have an old 2000x one
that has quite a bit of AC response up to 100 kHz, so I can scope the Horiz
output tube plate.

The case looked terrible .. but in fact was almost pristine after rinsing with alcohol.
They used really tough paint.
