I have a question...
After seeing the original ads by RCA on the two model sets, and, seeing they used a cabinet similar to the BW sets, but, seeing differences, such as deeper cabinets, and, decal on topfront, instead of middle panel, why are you destroying a rare BW tv that I would dearly love to have to put this rare set into.? Seems it was in the original factory cabinet it came in.....
And, you want to change pix tube mounting from full chassis to part cabinet to make it fit? I know you believe in originality, and, accuracy. I've always admired your work. But, why ruine a BW set that I, for one, would love having to put the color chassis in? I think it's already in it's original case. And, even if not, it's certainly the same style it came in....
I'm even surprised RCA even advertised this set, showing they must have offered it for at least limited sale to the public. I would dare say the cost must have been so high that you can count the numbers left by a few digits, at best.
I fully support restoration of this set, and, seeing it playing, again. But, it seems it's in the closest to the original case now...
