Well, I've been looking at this set for some time and it's time to get on with the restoration.

Here are a few pics of what I'm starting with. It was the usual dirty and a trip to the car wash cleaned it up enough to get started with.

I tested all the tubes and they all tested in the green. Some were pretty low, so those will get replaced.

It looks pretty much unmolested. There was some work done on the chassis but it doesn't look like anything was butchered.

Tomorrow I'll pick up my order of resistors and E-Caps from Mouser and then we'll get serious.

I powered it up on the bench today. I got some audio and a small raster. Then I noticed a small whiff of smoke coming from the back of the chassis. I shut it down right away. Enough of that for sure. At least I know what I have now.

BTW, it looks like this was from run 11? and the serial number is 053219.
