Yes, this was the one in Rochester. Not only was I excited to get the TV, but wife and I had a great time staying overnight in a motel, swimming, shopping, eating out, etc. It was a great getaway for us. I enjoy weekend getaways. PS, the selenium rectifiers have been replaced with silicon diodes, however I left them there for looks. Some of the aquadag on the crt was flaking off, so I painted it with a conductive gold paint containing copper.

My next project will be replacing the audio detector transformer/coil, in my RCA TS721. Otherwise I've got it working pretty good, and then I have a Philco 2 chassis B&W from the 50s, with doors on the front that still needs to be completely recapped, checked out, etc. That one (the Philco) also has a good CRT.
