what this?
 

anybody recognise this set? its on my way on a upcoming trip, wondering if its tube or not.

Bad "Cadillac", that usually means its old enuff to be Tooobs...(grin)

Looks like a Wells-Gardner sourced set. Hybrid, mostly tubes. Not very valuable.

not valuable but a pretty decent set.will have an oddball hot and a rauland crt if original.very good ,sharp picture.i would take it!

Thats a Pencrest, Lexington Esquire Fontane. Could be Sears, same thing. Its like a CTC317-35 style chassis.
Grab it, it has its charm.

I'd grab it in a heartbeat if the price was at all reasonable. Like Sandy said, cataracts almost always mean tube chassis. The solid state sets that used bonded tubes are pretty much all desirable, too.

This sort of reminds me of an Airline I happened upon long, long ago at the auction. Still kicking myself for not putting a bid in on it. (it had to have sold for a buck)

By the knobs, I vote Bradford...
