I too have an RCA "personal portable" that was previously elec. restored many years ago and still works to perfection. That sets is a particularly good example of a well made TV.
I have many other vintage radios and TV's that even after 20+ years of a complete recap, are still playing fine. They are not used daily, but at least a few hours a month. For 70-80+ year old electronics, that's saying something!
