Scored a Portacolor WHE5255WD

I spied this set on eBay described as " GE vintage television. Not working. Several of the tubes warm up but no picture. As is...maybe for parts."

Although it didn't have Portacolor on the cabinet, it sure looked like one. Luckily the seller included a photo of the tube chart which showed a 10HE chassis. That cliched it and I won it for $18. Now it just needed to survive shipping from California via UPS.

Well it arrived this evening and was treated to this when I opened the box


Amazingly, there's no damage




It's a model WHE5255WD. It's covered in Sams 1384-1. Does anyone have a scanned copy ?
