I agree that it was a great time. My tube type black and white sets are generally more trouble free than the tube color set simply because of the tube and parts count. Of the non electrolytic caps, which ones are in the league of paper caps and should be replaced? I know the black beauties and any bumblebee caps must go. The Zenith has many that look like orange drops but they are either brown of maroon colored. Are these to be replaced too? I hope not as there are a million of them.
