I remember Bill Cahill's thread saga with his RCA television several years ago.
That was so interesting to me and was the #1 reason I jumped from
radio restoration to television restoration. It made me want
to intensely search for my first television - I was looking for
a 1950'ish Philco until I found my first TV, a 1950 Zenith porthole.
Now I have 6 restored TVs with 2 others in the pipeline.
Whenever we start a restoration project, I think it is a great idea to
start a discussion thread and post your progress and query for solutions.
Not only does it help you the restorer and entertain the rest of us, but its
likely to bring in other folks to this hobby.
