Hi John,
don't need the crane, with the castors fitted the mighty cabinet can be moved around with ease.
I've left the chassis on the bench to "cook" so to speak and although the line output stage is inactive 33 volts negative is present at the grid of the PL81 so we know that the line oscillator is working.
The main HT line has risen to 242 volts.
I've checked the CRT for emission and I reckon it's capable of a reasonably bright picture.

This set will be displaying pictures soon.

DFWB.
