I have became aware of someone in the Milwaukee, Wisconson area needing repair/restoration of a middle 1950s Hoffman B&W TV. If anyone is interested, please post.

From pictures that I received, the CRT does have emission and the high voltage section works. The initial problem is no vertical deflection. (I am sure that all paper and electrolytic capacitors need replacement as well).

I am located in Texas or I would look at it myself.
