I pulled the chassis last night and it appears it has never been serviced. I was hoping this was the case as all six chassis mounting screws were present and matched. Seems a few go missing whenever a set is serviced

The cabinet is a bit crude. Just a lightweight plywood box. A bit odd that they used perforated masonite for the bottom. I'm not surprised it is damaged.

The chassis is sealed on the bottom with a metal pan. Makes the perforated masonite seem all the stranger.

The construction is a bit different than what I'm used to seeing. Many of the components are mounted directly on tube sockets rather than terminal strips.
Electrolytic cans are mounted horizontally up front by the controls. The flyback is right out in the open.
Overall, the underside it is in outstanding condition. No doubt due to the metal pan sealing it off.
