Point to Point is really the only way to design a tube chassis IMO! The boards always always get brittle or develop tons of bad connections due to the tube heat. On my portacolor and GE SF chassis sets, the boards show slight discoloration but are functioning okay. I have seen a couple of burnt up sets though---one was a circa 1973 GE color set. I found it in the trash a few years back and it had no HV. I didn't pursue the repair since I saw a LOT of scorching all around the boards when i opened it up. So bad that thew caps were mostly all wiggly and dried out. Mess like that is rarely worth the effort.
