There's an interesting thread here on the KV1800
https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/show...hp?t=15018
It didn't have any gate controlled switches in(GCS) which the 1810 did which helped reliability.
The crt may be a bit weak,I'm not familiar with the 1800 but have a couple of the 13" sets..These do respond well to reactivation,later trinitrons apparently don't so not sure how yours would come up.
