Actually, no blame on the present owner for non-original recapping. It had been partially recapped with orange drops some time in the 80s. I had possession of it briefly when in belonged to Alan Kleiman, and I remember seeing a lot of Orange Drops in there at that time. It had never been installed in the cabinet at that time, but Alan and I installed it with a 5BP4 supplied by another collector. I don't think Gary ever did anything to it while he owned it (since appx 1991).
I haven't talked with the present owner, but I assume that he "finished" the recap and got it working.
