With all due respect Alan, I think the simple answer to your question "Why" is that many people at this Forum are here because they want to 'restore' their sets in addition to getting them 'working properly', where 'restore' = a condition, appearance & performance as when the set was first manufactured.

That would appear to be the 'object of the exercise', although I appreciate that there are degrees of 'restoration & repair' that will vary according to any particular individual's wants, needs and opinions.
