New Member, new-to-me set, new adventures!

Hi all,

I found this forum doing some searches related to a 1957 RCA B&W set I just picked up at a garage sale, model 21-S-7447. I'll be getting it to my place tomorrow! This will be my first vintage electronics restoration. I've worked with modern electrics though so I don't think I'm totally in over my head

According to the seller the set hasn't been powered up in over 10 years. When last powered up it supposedly worked. Looking inside all the bits seem to be there, though the wires for the power / channel lamp are disconnected. Don't worry, I'm not going to power it on until the capacitors have been replaced and the frayed line cord is replaced.

I've tried to find service information for this set but have come up empty handed. Any tips on where to look?

Reading through the threads here it seems there's quite a few members from Michigan here. I guess one more won't hurt

Thanks!
