Both of my early RCAs had power supply issues from the get go. I used to think that perhaps it was a weak spot in the engineering, but really its just the age and dormancy factor of such a set that has ruined the electrolytics in the power supply. That's why they like to blow 5U4s, or worse yet (as in the case of my TC-127) have a shorted power transformer from someone through the years plugging the old thing in too long with shorted and leaky caps. I actually located an NOS Merit replacement; not bad.
