I know you've put a lot of work into restoring that set. It looks great!

What is nice about the picture is that it looks "just right".... Nice color TV in a nice living room, playing a Bob hope Christmas special, perfect setting. :thmbsp:
Mine are all stacked up like cordwood, not in a natural setting at all. :no:

Yep - I hid the back that was still off and the flashlight and screwdrivers - lol

Also left the pencil box open, but maybe that was a common condition of use for these sets.

Indeed! It was rare to see one closed! :D

I'm in SERIOUS Lust....(grin) And green w/envy, 'cause 1) I dunno how to work on these things, & 2) That is an absolutely PRIMO example of a Fifties set...

Very, very nice! Guess I haven't fired up my -5 since the spring...Christmas week is a good time to do it, what with all the colors. Mine won't look as good as yours-needs lots of convergence help.

Thanks - planning to record the Rose Parade so I can watch it on the -5 in the evening without sunlight streaming in.
