I've just returned the pots to their original positions, and retested, as I haven't been able to find an isolation transformer yet, that I can afford, I haven't tested the voltage. (I don't think this is an isolated chassis?)

I do now get a raster, albeit very red and dim, it's not a solid raster. There's no blue or green, and I've checked behind the speaker grille to make sure all guns are on, which they are.

I was wondering, would it be safe, to switch the leads round on the chrominance panel to the red pin, to see if I get a different coloured raster, eliminating the idea of a dead CRT. I'd have thought it to be safe, but I'd rather not risk it yet. I don't have a tester, either.

Thanks
