Picked up this set today and I'm pleasantly surprised! The varnish scratches are nothing to me, (I'm in construction), all this cabinet needs is a good sanding, stain and some laquer. All the knobs are there and the metal cover on the front is there and in good condition. The CRT although I wouldn't call it good yet did manage to get well above the 300 good emissions on my B&K 445 after about an hour "cooking" at about 8 volts. Life test was not there yet. Close but I am going to wait until I have time for the restoration before I say it is good or bad. The chassis has a little bit of rust but not bad and in fact better than my other 2 sets had started out with. The bottom transformer looks almost like new! The set turned out to be a 24G24 Chassis with the same cabinet that cmoser is calling a "Lincoln" with a 16EP4 (Banderson are you interested in a CRT that is close to good?). As said above, I love the looks of this set but I am a newbie here with very little time. It's boating season now and then football season (I hope my son is playing varsity this year!) and then wrestling etc. etc., so I have caught the bug but reality tells me I can't spend hours working on old TV sets! That being said if someone wants or needs items from this set let me know (for the good of the hobby and to help you guys, NOT TO MAKE MONEY HERE). I bought the set for $100 and I bought it because no one else did. I would definetly prefer someone buying the whole set and would be willing to help in the shipping process. If this thread needs to be moved to classifieds then please move it. If no one responds I will wait the couple years til the kids are gone and make myself a cool new(old) TV. Pictures can be forwarded but my online account is down due to nonuse and I really can't post them here without alot of hassle.
