OK, here we go - some pictures. Apologies if they're fuzzy, it's a cellphone camera as I don't have my "proper" one on hand.

First up: Documentation! Yes, ALL that came with the set!



(also, scored a pair of free baluns from elsewhere but grabbed 'em because I knew I'd need 'em)

Front of the cabinet:


TV Chassis:









Turntable:

Back of radio chassis:


Tube charts:



Flyback is cracked on the outside, but no signs of extensive wax leakage or burning/arcing, which is good. Can't see the getter on the CRT, but it looks in good shape. It's a 21AWP4 from October 1969, mfg by "Canadian Admiral Corporation". Has a giant red sticker on the neck saying "DO NOT USE ION TRAP", and looks to be aluminized.

I also don't see major problems, though I haven't flipped the chassis upside down yet (don't know what to do about that massive CRT yet...)

More pictures later, right now I'm going to have a sit down and flip through all the documentation that came with it.

All the knobs are there, but they're white and powdery, hopefully that will clean up nicely.

If you guys have questions I'd be happy to try answering them. I know there's VERY little about these sets online AFAICT.

Long weekend coming up, so lots more to come!
