Well yes this unit is old and it does work but I thought maybe by now it would have needed something by now so it could probably use new caps and resistors tubes are good. I guess this is no better then a 1960 color set needing caps and resistors.

It will definitely need new electrolytic capacitors, and the other caps should be checked.

And install a line fuse...
They didn't come with one.
Some of these might have been kits from RCA institutes in the 60's.
I hope you didn't pay for it. I see some of these on Ebay for exhorbitant prices.
A much better one is the Heathkit IG5240.
