It's Mr.
 . My name is Tim.I did a couple sets for people in the DC metro. I don't know what others charge for such a job, but I'd hook up with someone local to you. While this set can be brought back to life and used, using it as a daily driver it is eventually going to need additional service no matter how it is restored. Tubes, filter chokes, transformers, etc failed when the sets were a lot newer than they are now. And plan to invest in a tube tester, failures among tubes are commonplace. Putting a dozen or so hours a month on a KCS47 that's been restored isn't out of the question, but for long-term reliability you'd be better off with a different set if you plan to use it as TVs are used today. Just my .02....
