Since you mentioned you are a newbie I'll mention that when you work on this set ALWAYS plug it in and measure the voltage from the chassis to ground (like a water pipe or the ground at the outlet). If plug it in one way you will see 120vac turn the plug over and plug it and you will measure a very low voltage. You want to have it plugged in with Minimum voltage between the chassis and ground. This will save you from getting a nasty shock or damaging test equipment.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
