A visitor to my website wants to restore his Grandpa's TV, an Emerson with a phono in a drawer and a clock on the front. Most of the controls are in a recess on the side.

Any ideas about model number? I saw nothing on the tvhistory website.

He lives in West Virginia and wants to have the set restored for sentimental reasons. I gave him the usual advice about contacting area collector clubs for a recommendation, but I don't know anyone in that part of the world. Obviously, something will need to be fabricated to replace the missing screen bezel.

I found a set that looks identical in Riders vol 13. It's a model 731D using a 17LP4 picture tube.

I snapped photos of the 6 Riders pages and uploaded them here (http://www.bobandersen.com/images/schematics/emerson/731D/). I can try to get sharper images if needed.

Jackpot! Thanks, that is very helpful info. I will pass it along to the owner.
