I thought I had an arrangement to restore this set for a customer but his wife said heck no. Instead, he gave it to me.
Some say it's goofy looking, but it's one of my favorite early designs and I'll so my best to bring it back to life.

It's all there including the back. CRT tests good Icon_smile

I love how primitive it looks. Note the tuner tubes are mounted under the chassis.

It also lacks fine tuning. I guess the thinking at the time was that it wasn't needed.
