Thanks, it does work well in a room which is not brightly lighted (as they were designed for!) It is back in the case with original electrolytic capacitors at this time. I literally removed all connections, measured the capacitors for value and then leakage at the rated (150VDC) voltage and they appear almost NOS. Maybe later, I will re-stuff them. For now, I will leave well enough alone. I have three other parts chassis but they are picked over. Maybe one can become a working set... with a green 3KP1 CRT.
Next up was a Philco Safari transistor TV. To my surprise, it just works. I have done absolutely nothing to it after I bought it about 15 years ago on "The Auction Site".
But I think the next up will be the RCA 630-TS. I will start a separate thread for that of course.
When I get a chance, I will get a better picture of the Pilot working. Thanks for following this thread.
