For that kind of money I would have to be able to test the crt at least. It's easy to want to plug it in, but we all know that is not the right approach.
At least it doesn't have the 19AP4 that is so dreaded. I sure would like to have this, but my good sense is telling me to leave it alone. I have posted so many times about needing space and trying to lighten my load, which I have lightened some. I find old Dumonts of that vintage particularly interesting. What to do; what to do.....

I'm about 90 minutes away but like you have absolutely no place to
store it. It really is a sweet looking TV. I think I read somewhere that
it has 30 tubes in it. I talked to him too and he states that he is firm on
the price. Hope someone on this forum gets it and starts a restoration thread. Be fun to learn what is discovered restoring this set.
