The TV chassis is very similar to some other Crolsey B&W sets of the same vintage, but the HV supply (I believe) is unique. I am really looking forward to getting it restored and see how it performs.
John, is that the set I sold you many years ago? I'm refering the low-end chassis model. The same guy I bought my set from, also had a Crosley set like you're showing. That set had a 1952 model Admiral 27" chassis in it. The original chassis had a burned up flyback in it, and was scrapped.
