Back In business the PL81 turned up today, so down tools on the DAC's, back to the TV. The quest will continue tomorrow as I've got some croc clip fly leads so need to make up that cable to supply F1.

To recap my course of action Jeffrey suggested.

Have TV62 mains lead plugged in with F1 pulled, A live fly lead from Variac to the top of F1 and neutral to chassis. Turn on mains and wind variac up slowly for F1 powering HT, then watch and be ready to turn off. Both Variac and Mains for TV are fed via same four gang with RCD and the souse consumer unit is RCD

Do I need to worry about that dripping cap and the loud humm I had when just doing the heaters
