I have a few old round tube TV sets myself along with a few square tube units. Old TV's can be fun, but can also be headaches to keep going. Sometimes you just get one going and something else fails inside and then something else and something else. Best way is to replace all capacitors and resistors to ensure at least some reliable service. It's not hard to see why there were once armies of service men out there to keep these going!
No matter where you go, there you are.
