I don't know if I'm wording this correctly but I'm inclined to think it's kind of cheating a bit.

Very interested in hearing some thoughts on this. Thanks!

My repairman mentions that with finicky sets like the early Philco's, but I always shoot it down. I do like a set working as it was from the factory. Even with the HV, he has mentions modern replacements. I would only have these mods done if it was a rare set and there was no other choice. For me it's starts to lean towards just installing a modern chassis and storing the original away. I've accepted these early TV chassis' with all their quirks.
