Yeah, they did eat flys and jugs too. Getting them thru warranty was always a challenge, but that was par for the course for with all color brands. Five years was considered reasonable lifespan for a color set.

With RCAs we routinely changed the power xfmr primary to the 'high line voltage' tap, to drop the 6JE6 cathode current a few notches, and dipped the efficiency coil. Surprizing how many were not on 'true dip'.
