Glad you fixed it and hopefully you had fun doing it. It's a pretty little TV. You'' be looking for another soon..won't you! Over christmas I started watching 'shango66's youtube channel' where he fixes lots of TVs like that. He's LA-based, I think, so most of his collection is US brands. It's a new interest for me, USA tv's, they seem somewhat better built and production-engineered than the UK ones from the same era. Most of them seem to have survived better..less rust for a start! I'm learning all about RCA, Zenith, GE, Packard-Bell, Admiral, Sears, Motorola, Dumont, Emerson, Westinghouse, Wells-Gardner, and so many more I can't remember!
Mind you, I've yet to find a black-widow nesting in any uk vintage TV.....
