Wells-Gardner Curbside Find!

Found an interesting (if not ugly) find at the curb last night.
I got a call that there were a few sets on the curb not far from me. One was described as a console that looked like a bookcase. I thought it might be one of those Magnavox armoir's. I arrive to find a JC Penny branded set.
Cheap-o stereo on the top with a BSR turntable and 8-track, and behind the bottom doors is a 25" non remote set. VERY old fashioned knob lay-out and thought it might be a tube set. Popped off the back and discovered it's a Wells-Gardner solid state of the design with the long modules. (they used that style forever) Fired it up a second and was greeted by arching. I'm sure the high-voltage module is bad, as it has a flyback,tripler AND focus divider on that module. I'll have to see if I can find one somewhere. I think the code-date on the tube is 1977.
I'll try and get pix posted later, and get the model number posted in hopes one of you can point me in the direction of that module.

Did I mention that the cabinet design is UGLY? LOL!
