I once found that EXACT console at an estate sale....It was missing the back and all parts associated with the TV except a few knobs. Someone had stuck a 70's-80's Silvertone preset type varactor tuned table set in where the original TV had been.

I only found this set because I asked. It was in the basement and they were just going to toss it. They let me gut the remaining electronics. I still have the changer, speakers, SS amp, and tube tuner chassis(I believe the FM MPX decoder does have one transistor in it).

It has been a few years since I powered up the chassis I pulled from it, but I do recall it sounding good when I set it up at home without the cabinet.

I sort of wish I had kept the whole thing as a few months later I got my metal cabinet Silvertone roundy that I could have used to complete the console....Oh well.

What number CRT does your set use? My metal table model has it's original Silvertone 21GUP22...You read right not a 21FBP or 21FJP, but a 21GUP....Yeah Silvertone used some unusual type CRTs. My Silvertone table top roundy produces some of the nicest colors of any set I've seen working so I'd guess yours will produce a beautiful picture once you get 'em going.
