Its a curse. Any rare or valuable TV is very stressful to work on. My blood pressure rises from 120/75 to 148/95 until its fixed. This is by actual measurement. This does not usually happen on radios, though it did happen once when I discovered that the RA17C12 I bought had had all the paper and electrolytic caps already cut out, and the harness cut. This of course ruins my
usual method of avoiding a miswired new cap. [Addendum: well, not ALL of them ... the hard to get at ones were still there.]
