Not a TV but a Citation II amplifier from a demolished studio. A friend of mine pulled it out and dared me to try and get it playing again.
I still have it and it still plays great after cleaning and resistor(s), at least one on every output tube.
The worst TV I ever saw was a Zenith System 3 that a recluse smoker owned. The 9-160 was so covered in nicotine it looked spray painted. We covered it with 409 cleaner, let it sit overnight and hosed it off. After that we saw poor solder connections on the horizontal driver transformer. It fired right up after repairing them.
The house was another "trip"!!!!
Come to think about it, I did repair an Electrovoice FM tuner years ago from a fire. The customer cleaned it with "Easy Off" oven cleaner before he brought it to me.....
