CDE and Mallory have merged film lines, and CDE recently bought the Orange Drop line from SBE, so if they are CDE, Mallory, or Sprague, I'd leave them be if they check good. Get rid of the wax types for sure, but take pause before replacing the brown-drops willy-nilly-fashion and wasting money.

Cheers,

I will leave the brown drops in there before I replace them all, but I ordered replacement orange drops from just radios just in case.
I will probably stick the replacement lytics under the chassis when I get to them. I can get some pictures of the cabinet this evening. Also, I just learned that this set dubbed the "Lindale" by RCA..

I'm feeling a bit disappointed right now... I forgot about the parts for my TV and realized I ordered them over a month ago and they still aren't here and I found out Just radios refunded me because my order was only 14.50 and not the 20.00 minimum... I wish I had checked that allot sooner!

Guess I will put everything in again and add some filter caps for a few other sets and some resistors to bump up the price a bit...
