break in period?

[radio nut]

So far this set has been a pain.
The discriminator coil for the sound went out. The flyback burned up. The left side of the picture stayed fuzzy no matter what I did so I put in a new yoke and that cleared up that issue. I had to have Moyers make up the volume/contrast control since the volume control broke.
The original crt had slight burns on the screen so I put in a replacement 16rp4 and that went gassy after use quick.
So I have a lot of cash in a very low end set.
But the set has very good contrast and the sound is very nice since it (table top) was mounted on a home made base with a large speaker.
