Arvin restoration

I received one of those little Arvins a few days ago and recapped it this morning. The set turned out really nice. The original painted finish is quite good especially the painted woodgrain on the front.

The reason I have the water bottle next to the picture of the TV is to show how small it really is. The stand alone set looks like a standard size TV but it actually has an 8 inch screen. It is not electrostatic deflection but has a yoke. The 8AP4 is a metal tube that was not used in too many TVs.

The set was complete except for the HV cage cover which John Folsom is generously sending me from a parts set.
