My Sears with the 7F8's is a big (read: HEAVY!) set with a row of vertical pushbuttons for a tuner. I had help putting it on a shelf up high and now need help getting it down (soon). I started on it a bit ago and got side tracked by work.
I am curious.... That Motorola has .03 capacitors in the vertical. My Motorolas have .005 in them. My Motorola book shows the underneath couplings in the place that yours are but does not show the top ones. If the chassis mount ones are 6KV, they must be insulated better than just a cardboard sleeve (?). I had to use ceramic disc capacitors the first time to get the correct voltage rating. It amazes me how many of these little sets survived. When I first got into TV these were already considered "unfixable" due to horizontal frequency problems. The owner of the shop where I worked at the time laughed when I adopted one. He said "you'll never get it working"! It still works today!
Keep us well posted on this one!
