Hi Kevin,
I'd figured I get Madison represented in this Wisconsin-centric part of the thread. You are lucky to have Bushland radio near by. The last of the old-time TV repair shops around here closed years ago.
That's good news about the fly. That set looks fairly low mileage to me. I wonder if what looks like melted insulation on the cracked HOT lead was actually a repair attempt
With the temps going way below zero tonight, it a good time to be around glowing vacuum tubes!
