So...
yeah.
I hope you guys are sitting down for this--it showed up wrecked (the cabinet, anyway). But for a bent control shaft, the chassis seems ok (quick preliminary check). I'll probably be able to do a passable job gluing the thing back together (lots of epoxy and fiberglass) one day (when tinkering time is at less of a premium), but it remains to be seen how terrible the cracks will look. The knobs were smashed to smithereens, more or less.
Oh, well--live and learn. I certainly won't be making this mistake again. The seller is looking into getting compensation from "insurance coverage".
Still not entirely sure what it is...I think it is a 17T-something. The label is missing. The chassis is marked "TS-314" (I think--the stamp is pretty smudged) and it has a 17" CRT.
