As far as parts how hard are they to find for this one? It doesn't have the back but I think I can fabricate one. I looked up the sams for it and it is 91 IIRC. My set starts at 92 and I have some older volumes but not all of them. Mine go from 92 to about 15 years back. I looked and found info that it may be in the Riders TV repair manuals but I only have the radio books. I guess that will have to be the first item to find. Does anyone know how hard it is to find a picture tube or the HV coil? Those are two parts I hope to not have to need. Anyway here is the picture of it. Not too bad of shape.

if the fly is bad you can use any old nos fly from a similar tv b&w, if you have the schematic for your set you can match the ohms of the connections from yours to the new fly. i have a 1947 fada and thought the fly was bad and matched the ohms as close as possible to the schematic with the taps on the fly and it worked fine but i did put the old one back in after realizing the fly was not bad.most nos flys come with a paper that is a pinout of that fly and you can compair those specs with the sams and some flys have multiple taps you can choose from in terms of ohms. good luck with that oldie...
