Interesting Montgomery Ward 1684 portable tv

Got this set today about an hour and a half away from me. I thought the set had an interesting styling to it and I haven't seen many montgomery wards sets around. This set seems like a pretty low end model, seeing how it doesn't even have uhf by 1963 -1964. The set also uses a somewhat oddball tube, a 16bnp4. Tests good but on the weaker side. I think the set must have been left in a damp environment because the inside of the cabinet has some surface rust. Looks like it only has a few paper capacitors. Will save to work on for when I am away at school but seems like a quick fix. I can't find any filter caps on this set though, which is odd. Set has a few tubes replaced but besides that it doesn't look like it was worked on. A lot of the tubes are made in Japan Wards branded tubes, which is interesting. This set is pretty close in age to the color Wards set I got
