Yeah im not a big fan of old phenolic PC boards in tube gear. The ones in this TV aren't too horrible, I didn't disturb any traces either, I just cut the old capacitors out while leaving some of the old leads, I twisted and soldered the new leads to the old ones. Not pretty but better than lifted traces. That 150 ohm resistor is still running too hot, probably because the b+ is 20 volts too high, and I increased the fuse resistor from 5.6 to 8.2 ohms with little difference.
this is a cool set an it has a 4 legged base with a lazy Susan so you can swivel the whole set.
