2" Miniature TV/Radio Strange Problem

[compucat]

I have been using this set on and off for the past several months and the problem I was having of the upper FM band fading out has gone away. I am thinking it was a capacitor that has reformed from use. This set was NOS until I bought it last year. That means it has been sitting unused since the 1980s. I had two identical transistor radios from the 1960s I bought NOS in the early 2000s and both did not work due to dried out electrolytics. I recapped one and it works like new. The other one is still waiting. This little TV works great with my agile modulator broadcasting on channel 5 tuned to MeTV. It is fun to watch period shows on it right over the air. The radio is quite decent too. My wife says it looks like a car radio with the low profile form factor. I have another one of these in the Realistic branded AM/FM version with no multi standard reception feature.
