Rca t-120

guy gave me a few sets, this one was the best of the bunch. Has a good 12LP4 that had most the dag falling off. I picked up some slip plate brand spray paint, that worked great. It looks completely un touched. I started with a full recap of the tubular caps. EVERY one of them was bad, no big surprise as they were all papers and bumble bee, and black beauties. EVERY can cap section was shorted, so they got restuffed as well, had 3 on the top and 1 on the bottom, bunch of electros. I check a few of the resistors esp the ones that were on term strips shared by the tube caps getting replaced. I can't decide if I want try my 5" test crt or bother with reinstalling the 12LP4. prob go with the test crt just to see how it works.

oh will go thru all the tubes for shorts 1st I tested the sweep tubes, mostly 6sn7's and the HOT all tested fine. I just dont want a shorted tube ruining a resistor somewhere.
