I'm really curious to see what a pro can do with it. I'm guessing the top needs to be re-veneered ? Just about everything in that darn antique shop it came from had some cabinet damage.
The logistics of having the set picked up have been comical at times. If I'd had the opportunity to go get the cabinet myself I certainly would have. Two tiny kids and a dad driving off to Chicago for the weekend would make for a stir crazy wife. I have to put my family first.

Luckily my Mom was willing to get the cabinet but forgot all about it her first trip back to Chicago. She's now closing on her house there and figured this was my last chance to get the cabinet apart from making the trek myself. On her way up the Jeep died on her and a friend she took with her. A day late and having to deal with movers and fixing things around the house made me tell her to "forget it".

Gold Coast (the antique store that's been nice enough to hold the cabinet for, well, months) isn't even open today. I had to pay someone to come in on their day off just to open the door and hand the cabinet off. Luckily this story has a happy ending as Mom pulled through by finding another relative that I've hardly met to go up and get the cabinet for me! It's currently on it's way back to her house were the movers will pack it and bring it to Tennessee. I'll get to see the cabinet by the weekend.

I owe a lot of big THANK YOU's to a lot of people. My family and especially Bob for picking up the set, putting other stuff aside he was excited about working on, and for restoring the set for me. Another big thanks for all of you that helped him with your posts.

As soon as this comes together I'll absolutely post plenty of pictures.

I have another bit of good news. I scored a NOS Merit HVO-6 this morning on eBay. Hopefully, that will will do the trick and I can call this project done

I finally received the Merit HVO-6 and managed to hook it up. It's not the greatest fit, but good enough to try out.


Nuts! The dark lines are less pronounced, but still there


However, I discovered that the capacitor hanging off the flyback has a big effect on those lines.
I was able to pretty much eliminate them by tweaking the value I think I'll button this set up and call it done!

Hey! I have those dark lines too I'll have to try the cap trick, though I noticed I have a bad (or suspect!) vert lin coil, too...

I had the same veritcal lines in my Sylvania after replacing the yoke until I replaced the balancing capacitor in the yoke with the correct value.
