I have the identical Farnsworth tv.I got it decades ago when I worked my first job out of college at the Salvation Army tv department. Paid $5 with no tubes and speaker.i had most of the tubes and one cap later,plus cleaning controls/tuner,I had a picture. The set was drifting vert and horz.needed a recap.Haven't turned it on in a few years.will recap someday. That is the Adams Family tv by the way.Awesome find! I almost never see these.good luck with the restore! Here is my YouTube of my Farnsworth tv running years ago. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9EKBFU...Um9ubDI1MjQ%3D RonL
