I recently "did" an Emerson 698 14 inch from 1951, and it was a real PIA. One of the only things that saved it from being parted out was that the 14BP4 has excellent emission, and also it is a very clean set, inside and out. And it's small. The power supply circuitry is a nightmare, and I wonder about the EE's who designed it. Still has some fold over issues, but I'm done with it for now. Decent pic though, aside from the minor deflection issue.
