Thanks everyone,
I have been looking for a vt-71 since I started collecting TV's. I never thought I'd find one this nice within driving distance and a price I could afford. The cabinet definitely has a darker gold or honey color to it than my blonde Zenith. The cover on the bottom is missing as is the mask but I can make a cover and it looks like the mask is available. Picture tube filament has continuity and the ballast resistor checks okay too. I placed an order with Allied Electronics for the hv and electrolytic caps and am looking forward to getting started on it.
I restored a Philco 46-1201 for a friend a couple years ago and wanted one of those ever since, so that will be fun too.
