Saga on Rdstoration of RCA Victor tv stillgoing strong.

With the hv now arcing wildly in the cage, the new Japanese vertical output tube John Folsom had installed failed. Had to replace it. Found a good one today. Will work on it more tommorrow.

O.K., guys, you've been waiting for this...Here it is... Can you handle this???
The TV Had A Picture Tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still must have a short, because I was getting a popping sound in spkr., and, something under chassis, and, sync wasn't stable.
When I tried turning variac higher, popping got louder, and, picture, and, sound would rapidly cut in, and, out.
Must be another short somewhere I missed.
BUT, the good news is I have hv, picture, and, sound, including reception.
