%$#$! I had to run to the living room to make sure mine is still there - exact same model.
Only, I have never applied power to it. All the chassis are at Amptech being restored, and I'm glad I did it that way, since they discovered a couple of the germanium transistors in the audio amp were dead and the lytics were doubtful. Firing it up might have killed some unobtainable transistors. Because of the rarity of those transistors, I'd be wary of firing yours up again until you check or replace those lytics.
The CRT in mine has a cataract, but worse, the filaments are open. The good news is I have a replacement CRT, one of the last rebuilt by Scotty.
Good luck with getting your aircraft carrier seaworthy again!
