Just got home with a 721TCS from CL

And it's awsome!

It was about 55 miles away but an easy drive on a Sunday morning

Nice lady, she's had it about 40 years as a decoration but is downsizing and needed to let it go.

It's 100% complete and original, all the tubes I can see look to be OEM RCA, all the bolts are still holding the chassis in, it was missing a few screws from the back so someone has looked at it sometime in the past.
The Ion trap (electromagnet) was off and laying on the rear shelf, no idea why but from the dust on the tube neck it's been that way for at least the last 40 years or more.

I checked the CRT while I was there, it's deader than any CRT I've ever seen, heater lights but not a blip on the meter, base is tight and the pins look solid so maybe an open internally. I have other tubes I can put in it.

Cabinet is good and solid but the finish is very bad, inside it's a horror show of dust and cobwebs, the chassis looks like it's probably in good condition under it all.

It has a very low serial number, lower than most 621/630's so I wonder if the chassis for the 721's were being built at the same time?

It came with a large magnifier, it's broken on one corner but the lens is intact so maybe I can cobble up some type of repair
