The KRK2 tuner has however a problem with the fine tuning capacitor. The rotating capacitor shaft is loose making it awkward yo find tune. Purely a mechanical problem I will investigate next week.

How are the CRT and receiving tubes faring after 1000 hours? Just putting this into perspective, we've put 1000 hours on a riding lawnmower over a period of 8 years and consider that it's fully depreciated. Likewise it's a remarkable amount of TV time and quite a testament to late 40's electronic technology. In so many ways this has been one remarkable TV.
