Actually at that stage in time, capacitors in TV sets had not aged to the point of epidemic failure as they would 30-40-50 years on. The most common failure was indeed tubes, most frequently the damper, hor.output, and rectifier.. in that order. Filter caps were the most frequent non-tube components to fail. Bill(oc)
