Since that's the case, perhaps under that dust there's an actual pristine set, meaning that it has spent its 62 years not subjected to the vicissitudes of weather. If that's the case, then it's possible that all the white inductors are perfectly sound and need not be replaced, giving you a rare CTC2 chassis replete with production inductors.

I was fortunate to have acquired such a set and used its inductors to populate my restored chassis. This was ten years ago and the chassis is still running with those 'pristine' white inductors, and that includes one year of use at the Early Television Museum demonstrating the one successfully rebuilt 15GP22.
