looks like a good parts donor set free

Is that an early -38? Looks a lot like the -40 combo I once had. If it were an hour closer, maybe...

whats the deal with the big power tranny off in one of the speaker bays? powr for stereo? nver seen that before.

I can't tell. Did he say it was working or "only good for parts?"

I'm sure that is the power supply chassis for the amp/radio tuner.

Thats a ctc28 and might be a black matrix picture tube wish I was closer.

looks like a zenith replacement crt.likely still good.

If that stereo is tube and not solid state, I may be able to convince a friend of mine to go pick it up-but I would need to be certain about the stereo first.....he's been looking for a coffin-like stereo for a while, but it has to be tube only.

That stereo will be solid state. I think RCA's stereo console line went SS in '65.
