I wish I had my camera (AWOL) I cleaned up the knobs, reinstalled the chassis, hooked up the audio, did a brief center converge (OTA pics), set the gray scale up, after a few minutes it makes a very nice color pic, excellant flesh tones, deep colors, etc...

Sound is good as well (I had not tested that since I had to disconnect the speakers to get the tuner into the service position.

the CRT is weak but does come up after a few. I am looking forward to pulling the cataract out to see how much nicer it will look.

I am going to give it a rest and tackle the SS power amp, I only had one channel, not sure if it was the amp or the tuner. Have not tried the TT to see if it spins.

I did a real quick rub down with some restrofinish, looks a lot better, not sure if its worth the effort to restore the wood work. I have not done much of that, I may choose a set that is not as cool looking to start off with my wood refinshing skills.

I hope the phono cart is not DOA, they are hard to come by and pretty expensive considering what they are.
