Admiral model C23B26 chassis 20Y4E

[JCFitz]

Just picked up this set off craigslist.The cabinet is extra nice in fact near perfect condition.The chassis fired up on a variac and I heard sound and horizontal and high voltage.Couldn't tell if the vertical was working.

Now comes the problem.The crt is not broken but the base is completely gone.There seem to be wires for each of the elements in the tube so that's good.There is some darkening in the glass around the base.Bad sign? Sure hope the crt is good.I'll do some filament tests tomorrow to see if that's at least good and the tube is in fact under vacuum. The crt is a 21ALP4B/21ALP4A. Anyone got a junk base they can send me to fit this tube?

I don't think the legs are original.What do you guys know about this set?
Anyone got a sams also?
