Indeed...and here it is, in a shot that does not do it justice, but it's the only one I have right now... Very happy to have it, and looking forward to watching that new DVD of the 1959 NBC "Jazz Singer" starring Jerry Lewis (HEY LADYYYY!), in its newly discovered Living Color...

Did you ever find decent knobs for it? I remember a few were not in good shape.

Just acquired yesterday after a 700 mile round trip to California. My first '50s roundie

CTC5 The Chandler

Needs some light cabinet work. It looks better in person than in the pictures. I'm going to try to save the original finish. Missing the volume and brightness knobs, the high voltage cage cover (of course) and the back cover. Also needs a new "Deluxe" emblem on the front. Has the original 21AXP22 picture tube, which I have not yet tested.

No new knobs yet...they haven't caused me much trouble. Trickiest part so far was finding a screwdriver long enough and skinny enough to reach the height adjustment control. Jebus, what a terrible design!

Very nice set, damen. I'm curious about the CRT. Is that a 21CYP22? I have the same chassis, and HV anode connection is not the same. I suspect that you have a substitute CRT in there.
