My second run was for a late-50's Westinghouse. It has the fake finish on the cabinet with a few scratches on the side. It's series strung and the owner had it plugged in (actually was on and he did not realize it). It seems there was no B+ as the tubes were all lit but no sound or light on the screen.
This set has power tuning. Change the channel by pressing the "automatic tuning" bar). So far have not located the fine tuner. Most of the labels on the back of the set are gone. The CRT tested good after raising it to 8 volts, so leaving it there for a while might help things. The chassis number shows it to be in Sams 388.
Unfortunately, the yoke cover has fallen apart and the yoke windings just dangle there on the neck... as do the centering rings. Once I find my Sams for it, I'll see if I can find a yoke.
Edit: Forgot to mention... the safety glass was missing on this set. Guess someone broke it at some point. The owner said this was the way he got it... he wasn't aware there was supposed to be a glass there.
