RCA Victor CG305L B&W console
Greetings all! On Tuesday I sent the 23ENP4 CRT out to Scotty at Hawkeye for a rebuild. "WHEN" it comes back(don't want to say "if"), I will start in on some recapping. The Sams folder is set 797, dated 2-66. This is my parent's first new set, replacing a 1950's 21 inch Zenith. I think they got it in 1965. I will use search first for any particulars I come across later. But just looking at these pics, are there any glaring issues that anyone sees need ASAP attention? Someone on the board a while back opined that after 1961 RCA didn't use a multitude of paper or wax caps in the chassis, & this set is clearly later than that. What should I look out for here? The flyback doesn't look too bad to my eyes, just a bit of drippage there. The chassis on this thing doesn't look much more complicated than a large table radio. This will be my first attempt at a TV. Also, is there a way to read a date code on this set? Thanks!
