No don't worry I got out first!!!

Leaving it overnight the water was quite "brown", think it may have lived "amongst smokers" sometime during it's life. It's a lot cleaner and hopefully the set will look much better when it's all put back together.

Just need to find the service manual now, as taking the CRT out etc will have wrecked the convergence. The controls are on a PCB attached to the tube, "US style" (also Thorn 8000 series) and although they are marked in fuction the adjustment sequence is not!! I should imagine the grey scale could also do with resetting and the +B voltage checking also. I intend to replace a few capacitors as well...
