ctc-16xe All hope not lost

Hello all, This baby took a beating at the hands of fedex and I had to let a few days go by to cool off, as I thought that it was beyond fixing. Im glad to say im cautiously optimistic now. The tuner came loose off its mounting screws during shipping and acted like a trajectory every time the box was kicked around. 5 tubes the balun, and the nuvistor were destroyed. Im grateful for the friends on here that called me afterward and offered assurance that it could be ok. I know its just a tv, but my parents, who are long gone, saw it closing day at the worlds fair in 1965 and 3 months later it was the first color set on our suburban block, so its alittle special to me. Anyway heres a screen shot I got today and yours truly in front of it in 1968. Thanks
