You mentioned 1958 but it is actually a 1956 set. There was a write up on it in the January, 1956 issue of Service Magazine beginning on page 13. The magazine is available here: https://worldradiohistory.com/Archiv...ce-1956-01.pdf
Thanks for posting your find and please keep us abreast of your progress and feel free to ask any questions. Although my set has a good CRT, it is presently unrestored. |
You're right. Thanks for the correction. I misread the cabinet. That makes me even happier that it's earlier. I'm going to replace the capacitors in the tester and then go from there if it still shows a short. I have a question about the cabinet. Would having a professional wood worker fix the chunk missing out of the top reduce it's value? I'm thinking I'll just leave the missing chunk alone. Also I was thinking about using Howard's Restore a Finish on bad scratches at the very least. Any thoughts
