DaveWM: Thanks for the advice, I'll look out for those little caps.
I'm still amazed I got almost four years of regular use out of this set, with mostly original components. It was still hooked up to a digital cable box and plugged in when I removed it from it's original home in a Duplex in the Collinwood neighborhood of Cleveland back in 2011.

And if you pull the tuner there is a few spare screw on the back to mount
it to the chassis. RCA also did it.
Our first color set was one of these ( or a Y line). Got it for the '67
world series. Under warranty a rectifire shorted but after that ran
til abt '77 no repairs. Sold it used & only replaced the 6HA5 RF
amp to perk it up.
NOTE when changing a 6HA5 try to find the short envelope version.
For some reason all the "tall" ones were noisy, enuf to kill a deep
fringe signal or make a fringe station grainy.......
