Oh, I know this set isn't *worth* anything, and that's really all I paid for it anyway. I just thought it was interesting, it's rare to see a set that's not at least SOME sort of name brand (Emerson, GE, Zenith, Motorola, etc). It'll be interesting to play with, and, if nothing else, there isn't a brightener on the tube, so there is hope that at least that will be usable. I'll drag my tester out later and check for sure.

And, honestly, I have buckets of tubes and parts. If I can find a tube layout for this thing I can easily repopulate it. And I've probably got knobs that fit. Fun rainy day project maybe. The underside of the chassis looks sparse, not a very complicated TV, shouldn't be hard to work on, even without the schematic.

But, yeah, I've got a lot better projects ahead of this thing, so, it'll probably be dormant for quite a while if I can't find anything on it. Still, it's interesting, in my mind anyway.
