I had a really busy and long day today!

First I went to Dan's (a.k.a. CTC17) house to pick up the Silvertone parts set, it's providing a back, a full set of knobs in great condition and a face plate that is much superior to the one I have, the tube surround has a slightly better "Color" logo so I might use that too, plus any other parts I might need for the chassis, it has a fully working chassis so if I ever need a flyback I'm covered.
I had hoped to use the grille cloth but it has a single 4" speaker and my set has a 6x9 so it's wider.

I'm undecided if I should use the Gray Channel plate or the original Brass one?
The gray one is in very good condition but is kind of plain, the brass one was all bent up and worn, I straightened it out and brushed it with some sandpaper where I could to eliminate the scratches but I can't do the whole thing without removing those really cool Atomic star-bursts that are silk screened on.

I also picked up a couple of B&W sets, one from eBay and the other from CL, I'll post about those in the Early B&W Forum.
