Shorted the wiper to chassis...Still have music and I also ran the VC thru it's full range just to see if anything happened. Nothing.

56.0 ohms from that cathode to chassis.

Bought the parts to put a new thermostat and housing gasket on the Ranchero. Decided to do it tomorrow. It was already 2pm. Sat on my butt the rest of the day. I don't usually do that. I'm not a TV person and I always need to be doing something. But I'm taking 5 days off from everything on the 20th and heading north to sit on my butt some more with my best friend. Haven't had a day off since the new year weekend.
