Hi Rob,
I have what is probably a NOS TP-400, I was just going to get the chassis running well enough to test the tube but once I started I sort of got the crazy idea of fixing this set
I took the projection assy to work yesterday and cleaned it up and repainted it. Haven't tried to fire the chassis up but I suspect it will need filters before it will do anything except smoke.
The cabinet is beat but pretty solid, it could be refinished but reskinning it might be a good idea, I could do it in Oak for a more modern look
I really hate to scrap any set this old if it's at all possible to fix, not saying I can do it all in a week but a little at a time might be OK.

there are pictures of it on this site here:

That number may be year and month of manufacture. I had one of those and it made a small raster. I pulled the chassis in thoughts of recapping it and groaned. Too expensive! I sold it to finance the acquisition of an RCA 9PC41 which IMO is a way better projection set. The TP-400 CRT in your's is hard to find replacements for also. If the cabinet is trashy I wouldn't bother.
