Been watching this with considerable interest. Well done on taking the bull by the horns, we'll make a TV Restorer out of you now! Next thing is your first bang...

Smoothing caps - change them both and try again. At a guess that's your problem. You won't get any light from the EY86 until this is sorted as the line oscillator won't work.

If you want to build new caps into the cases then go ahead. Or just put new caps underneath and disconnect the original cans.

No EHT will still give sound by the way. HT problems wont. May be worth trying two new PY82's.

Then grab the bull by the horns again....

Cheers,

Steve P.
