Tell you what... Sounds like this guy MIGHT actually sell it for a reasonable price. I don't know if he'll accept it, but I'll bid $6500, then I will send the cabinet out to Van Nuys Plating, have it worked over for any tiny dents, the have it powder-coated with the correct original colors. I will then have the entire chassis stripped of every component, and have it sand blasted and cadmium plated. I will have the guy who makes the repro wax paper caps send me a complete flawless set of them, and I will reassemble the chassis to mil-spec. I will send the CRT to Hawkeye, whether it needs it or not, and will have it rebuilt including new phosphor. I will get Larry Bordenaro to make a set of brand new knobs for it, and will spend a few days polishing every inch of the set, inside & out.
