Hello and welcome;

Is it possible that the number is 100.112 instead of 100.115? I have a listing for a 112. I also have many of the Sears catalogs dating back to about 1910 so I will look in the ones from the early 50s later today to see if I can find your set.

THANKS STEVE! this is my first tv restoration,I usely try to out all the info on a item before restore it(the year made, model#,orginal selling price,etc.)I restore old dynaco,eico stuff as a hobby,but when my wife and I saw this tv it capture ours imaginations of home enteritanment in late 40's early 50's.as for as the chassis number i double checked and it 100.115. Justradios has been very helpful(found a schematic in rider as follows sears,roebuck tv page 6-19 to 6-38) and small picture of console on page 6-21 which I fell to tell in my post.Justradios made cap kit for console I'll do that and go from there.THANKS for looking:thmbsp:

I only checked in Sams and didn't see it listed there but thanks for the info about Riders. I will look at the picture when I get home and try to find the ad in one of my catalogs. There is a good chance, however, that it will not be in a catalog as Sears would only show a few models.
