"Unique" is always what you want with an early TV and your is just that. I can't wait to see it completely restored. Good luck.

Thank you. I am excited to get this working, I really was unsure when I started if this set was going to come back to life because it had been sitting for so long and the CRT tested very weak. I had basically no emissions even after letting it run on the tester for 2 hours. I resoldered the pins to be sure. After that, I ended up using my SuperMack on the restore function and gave it one pass. The emission shot right back up, I had cut off, and even the lift test was strong. Now that the TV is running the picture tube seems great.
