Well, I got it home! It is in really great shape, too. I had to remove the chassis and CRT as the thing would just not fit in my car. So, in the driving rain, I ran the whole thing the mile and a half back to my house in probably one of the heaviest downpours we've had this year.
Here it is, in pieces:

I got the tubes, mostly pulls from other tvs, and a Heathkit color bar generator with it.
Now, we were all wondering about the other stuff this guy has. It is all still for sale, so I'll post that in the classifieds for those interested.
For those just curious about what else that was in the basement, there were really only two other items of interest. An RCA New Vista square color set, model# GH692W, and the European style radio was an RCA (was this an import that they badged?) which looks like your classic 50s european radio with the piano key controls and a stack changer turntable. It's hard to tell from the picture, but it is a floor model on spindle legs. It was a fun day, but the misery of the rain and hauling it all around just about killed me. LOTS more to report on, but for now, I'm pooped.
