Yes, bleep for brains. Just think of how much they might have gotten from a collector if it hadn't been butchered. Thanks for calling attention to this travesty.

wow a Wingate too. Ding bats.

There is a possibility the set owner did this 40 or more years ago, maybe the set became broken, and too expensive to get repaired. But maybe he or she liked the cabinet, so the owner tossed the CRT and chassis? To keep the cabinet in the living room as a decoration. Long before people became interested in collecting vintage TVs?

SOLD.. Perhaps someone should have emailed the seller in reference to the chassis and parts..

"Someone"--one of US_-has done so. They needed the cabinet and tuner for another 5 !!

CTC5s are a dime a dozen, easy enough to piece one together. It's not like the cabinet was cut up.
