Interesting little set - I'm sure it is in good hands now Icon_smile

One thing I learned about RCA sets is to beware those lozenge shaped caps. They are prone to cracks in the molded body, and can become leaky or drift in value. I had to chase a couple out of my RCA console before the alignment could be completed to specification.

Good luck,

Ed

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
