Future project?? Dumont RA-103D
This set has been kicking around my house for 20 years. It's ratty.
No pix tube, no hv cage door, a resistor had exploded for someone, I stole parts off it, no knobs, no back, wrecked speaker, no back,finnish on cabinet shot, though wood is still sound.... Some years ago, a fellow afer traded me a junk RA-103C chassis. Had tubes, most parts, no pix tube, no knobs, no spkr., no cabinet, no dial mechanism. Tonight I finally pulled it out. Put some correct tubes back in my 103D. That chassis has enough good parts left in it to make mine repairable. I have an extra usable 12JP4 for it, and, enough parts to turn it back into a rebuildable set. I have knobs, band lever, hv cage, screws, horiz. osc. coil, etc., for my set... I think my set will be a good candidate to restore. Bill Cahill

If you've got all the key components, I say go for it

The RA-103 is a quality set and you should enjoy putting those parts together to make a working TV. DuMont did not skimp in those days (well, maybe a little on the focus pot, but those are available).

Thanks, guys. It will not be soon, as I have alot to finnish ahead of it, and, little money for parts. But, given the right circumstances, I will rebuild it.
