I second that one! As with the others, i too took a sigh of relief to hear the good news that the tv didnt go to a prop company and get destroyed. We appreciate you letting us know the good news. Since the tv has set for awhile, i would recommend soft starting it with a variac or not plugging it in until its recapped. Trying to run a vintage tv on its possibly original capacitors runs a risk for shorts that could take out parts of the tv that might not be available anymore. The gang on here will help lead you to the proper channels to get your tv in tip top shape electronically again. It sure is a beautiful set and am happy its now in good hands! Good luck!
