That is a very nice looking cabinet.
I'll probably catch hell for posting this, but there are times when it is simply not feasable to repair a television, no matter how loved the set is. Looks like that was the case here.
At least the cabinet wasn't turned into an aquarium or a litter box. Looks like a very nice conversion, the crt and mask anyhow, so at least you have a nice looking and trouble free daily watcher.
I have ran across a many console sets that conversion, providing the geometry of the crt/mask/bezel fit properly would make sense. In fact, I have a 67/68 Zenith here that I may try that with if I can find the proper fitting crt, although that is doubtful. It is certainly not worth spending many, many hours replacing dozens of out of tolerance components, and spending a large amount of money and effort trying to replace 40 or so vacuum tubes on a set that essentially has a zero dollar value.
