Racoon crap and non-climate controlled storage is often nothing to a set of that vintage.

Yeah, well I wish I would of been able to of convinced my uncle of that fact but he's really bull headed when it comes to stuff like that.
He even had an old Bachmann Trainset that he had intended to give to my oldest cousin burried with part of the house he tore down because he didn't think it was worth saving (even though I had asked him nicely several times to try and get it for me for parts because I had the same exact trainset that needed a lot of parts for it which are NLA because my oldest cousin liked to be rough with toys my trainset included) anyways I would wonder if I told him that this TV is was a rare and quite valuable/collectible TV set if he would of believe me and try and save it from the house and put it up on craigslist or and ad in the paper for it.
