Never again. I spent way too much time replacing the bad wiring. Strange thing is the set played when I bought it, even with a lot of the wiring missing much of it's insulation. You can see some of the insulation missing on the grid wires. Here's the chassis. Same with mine. It was working with a bad wiring. Nightmarish stuff replacing all of it. But great performers.
