This is the only vintage color set in my ever smaller TV collection (due to space and sanity). My primary interests have always been in earlier black and white sets and radios. I have owned a number of round tube color sets back when they were available very cheap and made great daily use sets. So bringing one back from decades of dormancy is new to me.

Thank God for the incredible pool of great people and knowledge here at VK to pass along what I as an electronics professional consider a lost art in the field that will vanish if not somehow kept alive. These days there are 'techs' who can barely read a meter; and I mean DIGITAL! They could care less about Ohm's Law, Kirchoff's Law,etc. To avoid a rant I will end this now as I must or that is what it will become.

You mean to say, they don't know Thevenin and Norton's theorem either?
I'd have to get back to the books! It's been years.
