I also have this same set, using a 17BP4, and has the little bump on the set back. Mine had a burned up power transformer, due to someone trying out the set in the past. I found the shorted capacitor on the first hunt, and aquired a transformer and chassis from a nice fellow in Rhode Island.

I've replaced a bunch of electrolytics in mine, so far, and now have sound thru the Inputuner to the speaker, and FM radio, clear as a bell! I'm running the set after each capacitor replacement, and was thoroughly surprised when the sound came on... full volume... due to the volume being up all the way... after a single capacitor replacement under the deflection circuitry area of the set. Still no picture, but I think I am hearing the vertical oscillator running... I'm not letting the HV come up, yet.

My set has the tube number on the underside of the CRT bell up near the screen.
