Not bad looking except for missing the knobs and dialplate.

I'm amazed the people just turn things this old on without giving it a thought.

That Antenna knob on the side is interesting, looks like it's supposed to have a string to rotate the internal antenna.

These old Westinghouse sets must be pretty tough, I have an H-196 that still makes a picture of sorts on it's original parts.

Did Westinghouse make their own TVs in 1948? My H-181 is a Philco 48-1001 in a different cabinet.

Just curious.

I don't know, the H-196 isn't like any other chassis that I've seen, not that I've seen them all of course.
