Way to go!!!! Those "still in use" estate finds are becoming rarer and rarer. I think now with the economy & housing the way it is, there will be a lot more quickie estate sales. Gone are the times when heirs can "sit" on an inherited house for years, figuring out what they want to do with it. Trouble is, we're on the tail end of estate sales of people who are old enough to have bought new '40s & '50s TVs as adults. Think about it: If you were 25 in 1946, and bought a new TV (and with the cost of TVs, only a career person likely would have bought one then), you'd be 88 today.

That is a spectacular find!
That finish in that condition is next to impossible, super save!

Lucky dog. That is a nice find, in great condition. Recapping, and, new electolytics should bring it back up to snuff. Remember to do the remote control amp, also.
