My crosley was it, now on my bench is a very old General electric set and I do not want another fire.Experts, please help!Thank you.

Hay man I am sorry your set caught fire. This sort of thing can scare the crap outta ya. When you fix the GE set, Connect a ma meter to the cathode of the horz output tube and keep an eye on it for a few weeks. Also turn down the line voltage to 115vac. A 1950's black and white set should work fine at that line voltage and put less stress on the power transformer and the flyback.
