It had the better chassis with the transformer and 5U4, but the same lousy CRT. It was a sharp looking set. I don't remember if it had the channel selector knob that popped up to turn the set. It was neat but another trouble source. |

Philcobah -- check with Steve McVoy at the Early TV Museum. He may have a beat-up one in the stash of old sets. I saw one there a couple of years ago...

Yep, the blonde one in the back. Last I knew it was still there.

If the one at the ETF is for sale and you don't buy it before the lunch break I might try and buy it. The styling is growing on me.

Well I got exceptionally lucky and definitely snagged that blonde In the back, although I’m not entirely convinced it’s not a light pale mahogany color as the regular blonde looks much more yellow with even the crt cover and this one was a different color altogether. Regardless thank you so much to everyone for the help; I had been working on that seller for 6 months prior to etf was just afraid he didn’t want to let it go. Fast forward to today and in addition to the rough etf set I scored an immaculate mahogany one in Maine!!! Thank the lord!! updates on the restoration soon in another thread!

The mahogany full dress and then the ash white/blonde one! You can see the quality difference.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

They're both gorgeous! Congratulations. That's one of my bucket list TVs.
We look forward to lots of details about the impending restorations! |
