Just finished restoring this. It took three #75 tubes until I found a good one that didn't cause a muffled hissing after the set played for about 5 or 10 minutes. As soon as you'd just touch the top of the cap on the tube, the hissing would cease. It looks a lot more shiny than it really is. The flash made it look too glossy. I had just applied a coat of Liquid Gold spray to the cabinet, and the excess that didn't wipe off hadn't dried yet.
