Hi Hunts smoothing bomb. I think you hit the nail on the head there. Whilst I don't think that TV22s are becoming rare, I do think that one day it might be hard to find any that still have waxies left in them.
When I got my first TV22 almost 30 years ago, I did indeed put all new caps in it as well as re-winding the inner windings of the lopty.
However I eventually decided to sell that set and start off with a fresh one in order to re-stuff the waxies. Hmm I do like to see waxies, a bit of dust and a few dead spiders (though I seem to find more spiders in radios than in TVs...)
The picture shows the first batch of re-stuffed waxies. I've now completed the third and final batch. So the set should be up and running again in the next couple of days or so.
Cheers
Andy
