Nice looking sets. With vintage TVs, as well as boatanchors, I think it's useful to at least warm them up once a month or so. Keep moisture out of places where it doesn't belong, keep the controls free and lubed, etc.

I confess that I don't do that with every single radio & TV in the house, but I would if I were a better person!

TVs are more susceptible to backsliding, so I would at least fire it up the day before, say, a big party where you want to show Psycho or whatever on your "just restored" TV. Might avoid that embarrassing Poof! in front of friends :-)
