If the $ are right, go for it. This is one of the most desireable sets of the post-war era and the $ are beyond right. After this set, it is downhill to most post-war sets. Pre-war is another story.

Look for cabinet problems first. Bad refinishing. Missing brass parts. Decals gone.
If the finish is smooth and not cracked, this is a bonus. It should be an almost glossy finish.

The chassis is the least of the concerns. That is what we restore with lots of help here. Furniture is for another forum. If you have the chance to test the CRT, you will help yourself greatly.
