THANKS for the warm welcome everyone

Normally I might very well have called about this set anxiously, but in this case nothing has moved in this particular basement for twenty years at least. I have a feeling the landlord bought the junk in the basement with the building and knows only vaguely what's there and likely cares less. BUT I don't want to appear too eager and there seems little need to do so. I also won't dawdle too long either as I can make the room here and would just have to leave some room in the van I bring there for service anyway.

So these flybacks don't catch fire though, right? I remember well our 1969 Zenith color set smoking up in '71.

And by filters you mean all the electrolytics, right? Should I change the main filters before applying power, or just Variac it up slowly?

Thanks again,
