Looks like a Wells-Gardner sourced set. Hybrid, mostly tubes. Not very valuable.

Thats a Pencrest, Lexington Esquire Fontane. Could be Sears, same thing. Its like a CTC317-35 style chassis.
Grab it, it has its charm.

I'd grab it in a heartbeat if the price was at all reasonable. Like Sandy said, cataracts almost always mean tube chassis. The solid state sets that used bonded tubes are pretty much all desirable, too.

This sort of reminds me of an Airline I happened upon long, long ago at the auction. Still kicking myself for not putting a bid in on it. (it had to have sold for a buck)
