If you have never restored an old tube radio or TV before, I recommend that you not do this as a beginner's project. Better to get a cheap 5-tube 1950s radio and practice on that.

If you go to the Restorations section of my website, you can read about various TV restorations and get an idea of what's involved. My current project is the DuMont RA-103.

If you're determined to start with this project, this article has some basic advice about replacing capacitors:

Be careful !!! Tube TVs have high voltage that can kill you.
