I think the front is painted wood, i nudged it with a fingernail and it felt soft.

The top does come off, this seems to be the same basic set as the 830-TS but in a taller cabinet. Kinda cool the way it curves down at the back.

The CRT tested weak at first but seemed to wake up after a few minutes so I think it will be OK.

Plugged it in (with a new cord) and it just hummed, it looked like some of the tubes wern't lighting but I didn't really run it long enough to be sure, it started to smell hot. I will try it again with the light bulb hooked up to it.

I got the vertical working on my 721 tonight and hope to have the rest finished soon. (it has no video or sound but I haven't finished recapping that section) Maybe then I can start on this one, though I would like to get going on the Hoffman too.
