Jerry, thanks for looking that up for me. I tried it and it worked!! Jump pins 6 & 14 in J3001 to power set on. The chassis fired up, it has HV (20kv- too low), has CRT filaments lighting up but no light on the screen, even with screen control turned up. Thats all I need to know about the chassis for now. I will mark it as in this condition and shelve it again. At least I know not to sell it to someone thinking it is in good running shape.
