Something interesting at a local estate sale... Doug?
 

I figure this might be too new to interest you Doug, but since it's a "steelcase" set, figure I might as well ask.

What I found interesting was the fact this set was plugged in and functioning (receiving analog in the basement with no antenna) :tears:. Figure it's probably about 30-years old now? Elsewhere in the basement, I found two modern-era BPC sets jammed under the stairs marked $5 and $10!

What does that tell ya?

It's sort of dark; but, it looks like one of the last "one knob tuners" from around '84. It has a single volume/power knob above the tuner and says "electronic tuning" under the tuner knob, right? I believe that set uses the dreaded 9-181 (main module) and 9-186 (HV module) chassis. I friend of mine had the console version of that set. He got about 13 trouble-free years out of it before the 9-186 board went up. I seem to remember the schools having a few of the metal cabinet versions.

Correct.

I do like those. It is one of the last steel case sets. Id be interested in it.
