Nice set; they are always fun to work on. I believe that is the same set that I spotted at an estate sale in the Detroit area a few weeks ago.

In the years I've been collecting TV's, I was fortunate enough to find just two of those big 22" portables. Fortunately I still kept both of them, one of which I've had since 1997 and is a model similar yours with the bandswitch tuner and plain tuning dials. I used that set for years as my bedroom TV and never once did it fail.

In 2008, I found a nice deluxe model from 1971 with the spotlight dials and the SGVG turret tuner (photo below). These are my favorite models in the b/w TV category and they're indeed scarce today.
