Unless you are a purist, you can replace the rectifier tubes with solid state. Most convenient to build the silicon rectifiers into a tube base to plug it in. Output voltage will be higher than from the tube, for good or bad.

Set had horiz. sync way out of line and vertical pull up. I got the horiz. and the vert. working ok but high voltage is low do to a weak 1x2b rectifier tube, (It blooms) also, it has a focus knob on the front. A very good picture comes up with audio but is slightly out of focus (probably do to low high voltage). The picture tube checked weak but came up very nicely after rejuvenating it. This sets cabinet is in mint condition. I'm on here in search for a Sams photofact, a 1x2 or 1ax2 and a couple of 6au4's. Any other old time repair shops around that still may have these?
