Really I should re cap mine as after all these years the horizontal size takes a few minutes to fill the screen, and after about 20 minutes the vertical size starts shrinking at the bottom. Very likely these are both cap issues, the later may be a resistor changing value after heating up.
I say this set would go another 50! Its built like a tank. It picks up channels clear as a bell with NO antenna, and the raster is bright and crisp as any I have ever seen.
Does anybody know how Sparton ranked as far as quality? I would compare it to the quality of a Dumont myself....
