It seems weird that a Solid State set from the 80's needs recapping but I guess they get old like everything.
I was actually thinking about that the other day when I found a 1981 Hitachi Color Set, I realized that the set was 31 years old now, yet I could remember when sets from that era were brand new.
My first vintage TV was an RCA 8-TS-30 from 1948, I bought it around 1980 give or take a year so at that time it was no older than the Hitachi I just got last weekend, yet it seemed prehistoric at the time, the Hitachi hardly seems old at all to me.
I was 20 in 1980, and now I'm 39.
