Watching Bewitched reruns on WGN? Nothing wrong with that, as we do that here on our days off. Thanks for sharing, as that is a wonderful set.

NICE JOB! And that cabinet is beautiful..

I just acquired a 7 very similar to that. But the cabinet is going to need a refinishing because someone was watering plants on top of the set and the water ruined the finish on the top.

Hope mine turns out as well as yours!

Getting WGN America without a cable box? How?

If you're watching Bewitched in reruns on WGN America, I wonder...where is the cable box? The TV's own tuner is on channel 3. I don't see a cable box or satellite receiver anywhere.

beautiful set!

I've still yet to find a nice 7 or 9 like that one. You've done a fine job.

Great job! I'm amazed at how clean and new the inside of the set looks.
