That Canadian Philco Model 706A (U.S model 46-1201) that I am working on was saved in much that manner, the cord was intact but was insulated with old crumbling rubber so I don't think that it was plugged in for some time. As a matter of fact I doubt whether anyone has taken the chassis out since the set was built, it had all of the original condensers and resistors as far as I can tell. But if you saw how many wires have to be unsoldered to remove that chassis it would have dawned on any weekend amateur repairman that getting at the tubes was the easy part and maybe this set should be put aside for later.
Best Regards
Arran
