Ok guys, I'm going to need your help. I've been searching the internet and have been watching bandersen's youtube series on restoring his Hallicrafters T506 (haven't seen them all yet, but I skipped to the end and it looks fantastic!) But, I still have some questions as there isn't a lot on the internet specifically on the Delco TV-71

Does anyone else have one of these and is the chassis and the schematic really the same as the T-54?

What is the right stain color for this cabinet? I assume the front edges are correct and painted black lacquer.

Are the knobs on the front correct? The T506 used the standard Hallicrafters looking knobs, but these are different.

Anyone know where I can get a new faceplate or a good way to restore this one?

Finally, this is something that was suggested on another site, but maybe somebody has a definitive answer: was the T506 made out of left over Delco sets that they cut the channel 1 button off and put on a new face plate?

Any help or advice would be appreciated. These look like pretty basic sets and maybe something good for a learning experience.
