I have one, unrestored Amazingly, this 8G005, the 6G001, a DuMont RA354 and an RCA portable are all working with all of their original caps including the electrolytics. My Zenith 6S52 chassis has new electrolytics but all other caps are original. I will get around to recapping these sets, but something could be said about the quality of the caps. The other variable is that these Battery / Line powered sets don't draw much current and therefore don't generate much heat. K0NXM, you will have 73s and good DXing with that set.
