Good luck with the big W. I bet its an easy restore also. See if it was built in Metuchen NJ.

Betty Furness sure explained UHF strips well!
I saw a US map of of all the TV stations from 1952 at Radio-TV Museum in Bowie, MD. Its in the men's room, go figure.

There were 1-2 UHF stations in the smaller cities between larger cities, short-lived, with call letters matching the town's AM stations.
My guess is those "one-channel strips" worked better than variable tuners, being optimized for one channel.
