They don't smoke. I cleaned the lenses but not the mirror. I am going to go back on Monday and test all tubes and rejuvenate if needed. How many hours are projection tubes rated to last?

Did ya check the lenses and mirror for both? Since all 3 go up to retrace, the focus block is probably good. Look into the crts and see if they can even produce anything near a sharp picture. If not---weak crts probably.
