Maybe, I'm not sure yet. I certainly want to finish a few outstanding projects first, but I'm anxious to see one of these sets in action.

The young man I bought the set from said that he was going to restore it with his grandfather, but he passed away before they got the chance

Here are the goodies that came along with the set. Maybe I'll use some of these parts in the restoration

I've seen tubes with funky getters that still work fine.

Thanks. It is similar to the VT-71 goo, but even harder. The emissions and cutoff were in the red even after over an hour at elevated filament voltage.
So, I used the auto-restore function on my CR70. After an hour, the emissions are still holding steady in the green. Cutoff still stinks though.
