When I have a TV or radio that works on its original caps, I won't run it that way very long. I take it as an assurance that the time money and effort I'll spend recapping it will likely be successful.
I'm the first to admit that when I was a kid, I destroyed some really beautiful TV's with a channel 1 on the tuner... also, many wire recorders, and console radios. I've got an Atwater Kent 84 cabinet, but I tossed the chassis because the power transformer was cooked. What a dork I was.
