I didn't have time for much of a response before, I was on the run. I've never been to Minneapolis so I used it as an excuse to go I rented a minivan and we all went as a family. A side note, I sold my truck and bought my own minivan since I picked this up. Anyways, I ended up spending more money than I anticipated with the hotel and whatnot but it was really fun. The ladies that run the store "Empty the Nest" are really nice too. It looks like a place one of these may show up at again as they deal with leftovers from estates and reselling vintage items.

As for being a low hours set, the answer is yes. It has the original very strong CRT 43rd week of 1961 and looks to never had any major repairs or many tubes changed. The tube needed a little wake up but the life test hangs a long time now on all three guns. It's really going to be nice when done, way better than the other 11 I have. The sound is great too, has a 6x9 and 2" tweeter. The large cabinet resonates the bass well, it's actually deep sounding versus a more mid bass sound and shakes the floor a little when playing music or watching music videos.
