[captainclock1988]

I'm definitely not planning on touching the IF controls on this TV, I learned my lesson the hard way when I was working on my Meck Philharmonic Model 8200 TV that still doesn't really work quite right that you shouldn't touch those IF Pots unless you have the right alignment gear (which I still don't have the correct alignment gear for doing Video IF Alignments.)

I will though be replacing all of the old Capacitors (all of them are old Sprague Bumblebee Caps) and all of the old electrolytics cans with modern axial leaded electrolytics that will be attached under the chassis while leaving the original cans ontop of the chassis for appearance sake.

I was able to test all of the tubes for the TV, and radio chassi and all of the tubes except for about 5 of them tested like brand new yet including many of the original Philco branded tubes with a date code of 43rd week of 1952 (which fits with my idea of this TV being from 1953.)
