(Guys - RCA's 'simplified' color chassis, based on the CTC 4?)
If the CRT is good, all the better. It deserves being cared for. Not many were sold.
Also, the CRT is metal, and the HV is 25kv. You don't want to get bit by it...

Thanks for the word of caution. Just so everyone knows this set will not be plugged in until a full electronic restoration is done. I understand the rarity and absolutely no chances will be taken. I'm going to get some experience with my other radios and tvs before I take on this project. I Plan on re-stuffing the old caps to maintain it's originality. Also I'm very meticulous with everything I do and this restoration will be no exception. Thanks
