So this turns out to be quite the interesting little set! Thanks for everybody's help in finding some restoration aids.
This 1949 set has an integral AM/FM tuner, and a pretty hefty 12W 6V6 Push pull audio. IT has a 6AV6 phase inverter circuit set up in a configuration that I'm not sure I've ever encountered before (althouth the vast array of positive and negative voltage rails makes reading the schematic a bit cumbersome!)
Taking a page out of the RCA playbook, this is a split sound chassis, with the sound take off right at the converter oscillator! Interesting.
It's got a DC coupled 2 stage video amp, using both halves of a 12AU7, just like the RCA KCS Chassis of the era, except that it's DC coupled. If RCA's late 40's sets are any indication, that circuit leaves a little to be desired for video bandwidth, so I'm interested to see what the Capehart is like. The synch separataion and amps are pretty involved for the era...
It's likely to be some number of weeks before I get into this. But looking forward to it!
