well lets put it this way.
i made the mistake by having my 70 pound emerson TV shipped. it arrived absolutly destroyed. worse than that radio could ever be. pix tube impoded, cabnet splinterd, shifted, and cracked. bakelight crushed.
So you know what I did, contacted the seller, filed a claim, she returned the money back as a check, and guess what I did. stuck it right back into the set for repairing it. restored it, and redid the cabnet. but not the bakelight
but it works as new. need defl yoke though.
sorry for hijacking your thread.
