The set and it's electrolytic capacitors are celebrating their 75th anniversary this year. This past week I sadly had to restuff the last wet electrolytic in my 1935 Scott AllWave 23. The wet electrolytic dried up and lost all its capacitance!

I am running the 721TS about five hours a day on weekdays and about four hours overall on weekends. That is about 30 hours per week. No sign of any problem with the original electrolytics.

Incidentally, CHCH TV in Hamilton Ontario is running Andy Griffith, I Love Lucy, Danny Thomas Show, My Three Sons and Bonanza between 10am and 1pm weekdays and the 721TS is on in the background as I work in my office.

Here is Bonanza photographed off air just now.
