Marlin,
Nice RCA, I have a couple of them, actually 4, no room to bring a couple of them home, yet. The biggest drawback to the projections is the front surface mirrors. They get sort of a dull grey from being exposed to the air after 50 years and it cuts the brightness down a lot. HL Clausing in Skokie can re silver the curved mirror in the "bell" , it runs between $150-$250 depending on the quality of the coating you want. I had the one for my Berkshire done a few months back. The flat mirror you can probably get by with a thin back coated mirror. I picked up some new projection TV mirrors that I'm going to try and cut to size for a couple of my projection sets. Oh yeah, I was told that the flat mirror would be too expensive to have re-silvered.
