1963 Zenith 29JC20 restoration

[Zenith6S321]

I picked up this Zenith 29JC20 last week at the Richmond Antique Radio and TV museum estate sale. My hope is to restore the set and use it daily. Here are some pictures of it before I get started. It's PVA has started turning green. I may attempt the cataract removal process if it affects the picture much. The cabinet is a little rough but not too bad. The service tag (PSI?? weight??) lists a bunch of service in the late 60's. The Picture tube is a 21FJP22A rebuild dated late 1973. Looks like its got the same tie-strap around the cloverleaf that I read about on other 29JC20s. Looks like some recent replacements of a few capacitors with orange-drops and only two small electrolytics. First I will check the picture tube with my slightly flakey CR70. Then I plan to shot-gun the old caps, the electrolytics, replace all the off value resistors, check the coils, and replace the bad tubes before I power it up. I am curious how this narrow band chroma set with RE phosphors looks compared to my 21CT55 with its 21AXP22A (my avatar/signature).
