  THIS WAS A SCORE AT THE 2014 EARLY TELEVISION CONVENTION.  I GOT THIS FROM A PRIVATE PARTY. 

  AS FOUND, THE CRT WAS TOTALLY DEAD AND THERE WAS NO HIGH VOLTAGE.  I WAS ABLE TO REFORM THE LYTICS.

  FORTUNATELY, THE 6KD6 WAS NOT REDPLATING.  IT WAS TOTALLY DEAD.  I DIDN'T HAVE ANY DECENT REPLACEMENTS, SO I TEMPORARILY USED A 6LF6 (SAME PINOUT, DIFFERENT CAP).  THAT SOLVED THE HIGH VOLTAGE PROBLEM.  I REPLACED MYLAR CAPS THAT I DIDN'T TRUST (MOST IF NOT ALL OF THEM).  I SINCE GOT SOME 6KD6'S AND A 22JP22 CRT.  THIS WAS AN  EASY RESTORATION.  THERE ISN'T THAT MUCH TO SAY ABOUT IT.  SO, ON TO THE PICS.

   THE CHASSIS.  I HAD TO DO EXTENSIVE CLEANING IN THE HIGH VOLTAGE AREAS DUE TO CORONA AND ARCING.  THE LYTICS WERE ALMOST LIKE NEW.  I FUSED THE CATHODE CIRCUIT OF THE 6KD6.

   HERE IS THE CHASSIS ON THE RIG.  I HAD TO DARKEN THIS PIC DUE TO THE LIGHTS.

 I DIDN'T BOTHER TO TRY THE ORIGINAL CRT.  THE KITTY IS HELPING.  UNFORTUNATELY, THE FLYBACK TOOK A DUMP.  I HAD A REPLACEMENT.  THE CORONA IS WORSE, SO I NEED TO HIT SOME CONNECTIONS WITH SILICONE.  I ALSO NEED TO REPLACE THE ANODE CAP.  A NEW PIC WILL BE POSTED IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
