RCA TA-129
#2

BBuster aint it!!!! It's good if the crt is fixed to the chassis my '50 16"RCA (KCS-47A) set it's fastened to the cabinet. Makes a little more of a  challenge to service. I made up extension cables to power the crt and yoke. I learned that the insulation was a bit lacking for the anode lead, I won't tell you how I determined this. OUCH!!!!! I'll mention in passing if you are servicing it with the spkr/opt disconeted put the output tube (6K6?) Having no plate volt but retaining the screen grid voltage can damage the tube(s)

GL It's a fair amount of work to get it going properly.
Lots of paper caps some resistor and some micas mostly
in the sweep circuits.
