This one?

How about a KCS45... same garbage??

Years ago, I packed home a 2T51 12 inch set in a bakelite cabinet, and repaired it by replacing a few tubes and a few caps. It was never very stable, so it became a "shelf queen", with the thought that sometime I would perhaps give it a full recap/rebuild.

Now 20+ years later, I am considering working on the set again, but from the above comments about the KCS47, l am wondering if that might just be a waste of time.

Cute little set, however:

What say the experts?:scratch2:

I also have one of those 2T51 that I've never restored. I can't imagine it would be too difficult to revert some of the circuitry to an earlier more stable design. Apparently the sync circuit is a weak link? I guess I'll get mine operational as a video monitor first and proceed from there.
