The electrolytics are the original. I reformed them about 20 years ago and they are still going. I restored this set back then but had to use ceramic discs to couple the vertical and horizontal because the newer tubular type were not available then. They failed recently. The cabinet is somewhat rough but I am not a woodworker. I'll post pictures of it in the cabinet soon as my TS-18 sound went out last night and I'll be bringing it here to work on next. By the way, the original trouble that stopped this set from playing over 20 years ago was a 4.7 megohm in the vertical. I always liked these little sets! By the way, the date code on the CRT is 1943!
