With TV receivers, the kine's cathode emissivity dictates brightness and color tracking ability. But remember that 'up-front', the RF stages in an NTSC receiver can be trickier to align and repair....

My daughter uses a 1958 Scott Type 130 pre-amp in her tube component system, and it's all original, except for the #12 bulbs. Her Dyna ST-70 has been re-capped, though. Maybe the Pre-amp is living on borrowed time, but I have a spare stashed just in case.
