Tubes, filter chokes, transformers, etc failed when the sets were a lot newer than they are now. And plan to invest in a tube tester, failures among tubes are commonplace.
Putting a dozen or so hours a month on a KCS47 that's been restored isn't out of the question, but for long-term reliability you'd be better off with a different set if you plan to use it as TVs are used today. Just my .02.... |
Thats what I expect from a set this old. Mr.Tim I go to DC often would you be intrested in helping with this set? I could pay you.
As for using a different set what would you suggest? I was hoping to over time make the set more reliable by replacing broken parts with more robust parts.
