My back feels a little better, I pulled 'er out and took the back off. As usual there were unwanted surprises inside,mouse crap EVERYWHERE! Amazingly, that was about it, not one thing chewed on..... whew! Good luck there. However, I did have to spend 6 hours detail cleaning and removing every piece of crap with my shopvac. I detail cleaned the CRT, all tubes {20 of 25 appear to be original} I noticed that every one that was original had the code start with 64, could this be a '64? Did they have the 25MC33 in '64? I'm picking up the sams pretty soon, maybe it'll say. I also cleaned every inch of the chassis. The micro cleaning tools for the shopvac are a must! It beats the hell out of how I was doing it before. There's a pic of me easily getting all the way under the CRT an surrounding area. I also pictured the stereo, amp and a few other goodies that are hard to see without sticking your head inside the set. I also had to clean mildew off the back, came off great. Next, I plan to recap the stereo and amp to get rid of the dreadful hum.









Roundys, Chairman Bob approved!
