The other set I went to look at was a Maggie console with doors. The wood was really nice and the set was very attractive. Had a couple of the small knobs missing from the front. I looked in the back to find a toob-brightener connected to the CRT, so that kinda influenced my decision of not bringing home the set. Well, the fact that I am running out of room here at home kinda influenced my decision as well!
I got home and looked up the model number and found the set in Sams 205-6. According to Sam, the CRT is a 21EP4A or a FP4A. Maybe I could find one of these at the old TV shop in town. If so, I might decide to go back and get the set if the guy doesn't want too much for it. Since I decided on the spot not to take it, I didn't bother asking him what he wanted for it.
The cabinet was very attractive, so I might go back for it anyway. But for now, I would need to figure out where to put it.
Here's a picture of it from the Sams folder (dated June 1953).
