Thanks to all for the kind comments. I was preparing to start restoring my 21CT55 when I found the ETF web site and the videokarma forums and realized my sets rarity. The ETF and these forums contain a wealth of helpful information, wonderful technical discussions of early TV technology and circuit design, investigations of historic sets, and restoration advice that I doubt could be found anywhere else. And Bandersen's youtube videos are wonderful. Once I learned of the possibility of acquiring early post-war sets I decided to restore one or two of those before attempting the 21CT55. Next is an RCA 630TS. Its cabinet is unrestored with a scratched finish and some venier starting to crack on the curved top. I was wondering if, like with antique furniture, it is best to preserve the original finish if possible, or to stip off the old finish and attempt to replicate it? Refinishing wood is new to me, so I will probably take the least destructive path for now.
