I got this old set off a piano customer of mine. Not sure yet what the model # is, as I have only just obtained this piece. Anyone with ideas as to what model this is, and where I can go to get an escutcheon plate for where it is obviously missing at the channel selector knob...I'm all ears... Many thanks!
I did try to make the set operate about a year ago on a previous tuning visit, but could not get anything but a hum. So I suspect that a re-cap is essential. First I'll jumper in the basic filters just to see if I can develop HV, and assess the CRT. It's been many years since I've tackled a project like this--and I have several other old sets now to do as well--most of them round monochrome CRT sets--and one rectangular set--the picture tube in that having been manufactured at a plant in nearby Springfield, MA.
