1974 RCA CTC-51K (ES334W) Color Portable

[AUdubon5425]

Here's some pics of the 14" RCA color portable from 1974, a CTC-51 set. I spent about an hour with a vacuum and a paintbrush dusting the chassis - there was a quarter inch of dust covering everything, but it doesn't seem to be a smoker's set.

It comes on without HV and I hear a sparking somewhere back there. I tried swapping in a new HOT tube to no avail. I think this one is gonna go in the shed while I get some other sets out of the way.
