As far as condition goes, cosmetically it's very good. All the Vineer appears in Very Good to Excellent. Just the one scratch. The solid wood skirt has a few minor blems, not very apparent in the pics. But, since it's solid, I will have no problems reconditioning it, if I have to...
The owner's father was a chief engineer for Sprague, and bought the Set in the 70's. He passed on in '98. It did work then. But, the Son tells me the CRT has since gone to air. I'll test it, of course, but, until I get it, I have to take his word on it.
He says the FM still worked when he last turned it on a few years back. I, of course, will be very careful around this Teleset.
It's missing one of the brass inserted Control Knobs, and I believe they were used on other Sets in the lineup. If anybody has a spare KNob in VG Condition, without nicks, I could use it. Or, more, if you have spares...
I also need the Service Manual on the Set. Could someone locate/make me a copy, please?
It goes without saying that if anybody has a line on a working 30BP4, I'd like to hear from them.
Barring that, I figure a 24BP4 or some 27" might work in the meantime. I know it's a 90 degree deflection CRT. I'd like to know what my alternatives might be.
Thanks, Gents;
