Everything everyone above wrote, times ten. I sent to Ft. Lewis 2 weeks after the Mt. Saint Helens eruption. One of my Maintenance Contact Teams was very close, and long in the ash "Fallout". Yakama Firing Range.
Even after the fallout stopped, you are far, far away from being in the clear...
Left side, top two LARGE wire connections A1 & B1. see attached crude drawing. Also, the blue tag on the side of CB2 has this drawing.
With everything turned off, unscrew the canon plug on the right side of CB2.

Do the panel lights come on? If so, turn them on and then try and start the set. Do they dim/go out?
That was in 1977. My Mentor was a French guy who had to leave France in a hurry in 1961 due to the attempt to over through Charles De Gaulle. He was a SP/5. He was teaching me to be more "Electrified", as he put it. He almost died that night. Not because of the fire, smoke or general mayhem. No...
