Ouch! I like to think I know a bit about what I am doing. I must admit, I do rely on AK to help me out when I need it!

This isn't my first set. It's number 5. Three of which work, one I'm still having issues with.

This is the FIRST time I've run into replacement filter caps from 1970.

I think the consensus here so far is to let it run when I want to, but don't go to far away. The saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is rolling around in the back of my head right now.

Eventually I'll take it apart and work on it. It does have a few issues that I will need to address, such as the tuning dial is sticky.

Oh yeah, Tubejunke, I have the complete Sams for it. The sams I got from the dude I got the TV from, had the folder in it. He also just called me the other night and said he was "digging around" and found the original owners manual for the set, and the complete Dumont service manual for the set.

He's going to give that to me. I just have to go pick it up.

Thanks again everyone! I appreciate the comments!
