It has not been re-gunned. It has a CRT that I suspect was replaced in the Seventies and still has full emission. I'm not sure of the condition of the flyback because I don't have the horizontal section running yet, that's where the trouble is just now. It sounds like it will be quite a reliable set. I know with my restored radios, they run for many years of daily service without needing anything. TV sets however have many more tubes and the law of averages suggests they will need more maintenance. My wife and kids are going out of town in another month so I plan to tear this set to pieces and restore it before they get back.
