If it wasn't for the name on the face "you can('t) be sure if it's Westinghouse". to parody their old slogan.

If you can find a picture tube it could be restorable. I've seen shango fix worse and fixed worse myself.

As an "I'll bet I can" challenge to yourself, sure it's restorable, if it means that much to ya.....

Personally, since I'm already sitting on a few too many restoration projects that are in way better shape than that poor relic, I'd have left it back at the ranch with the ghosts

It's still there. Anyone who wants it can look up the Hess ranch in NV. Sure was fun wandering around there. But I wasn't brave enough to bring it home. Probably would have brought some ghosts home with me!

I totally agree on the ghosts, they may get nasty if their belongings are disturbed ......

With enough time and parts it could happen.

CRT would be the toughest part to find. Next would be the flyback or the yoke if they were bad. Everything else would be easy to find.

Time to break out the super glue and Air-conditioning vacuum pump.

Naw, that is overkill. Elmer's and a brake bleeding pump are all that required here.
