News Flash! Real results at last. A bright raster, seems that the CRT is good, plenty emission. The line hold control has no effect so it's likely the lack of width could be caused by the oscillator running at the wrong frequency.
The original PCF80 in the tuner had to be be replaced in order channels could be tuned in on band 1.
The contrast control doesn't work, it's part of a complex gated AGC system.

So there we have it, real progress today.
