Tim ,
I agree with the others, have the cabinet fixed!
Rotted wood and structural problems are much different than patina and history.
Restuffing: I tried it a few times and it was a frustrating experience.
I certaintly don't own anything rare enough to be worth the effort but I did do it with my CTC-7, simply because almost ALL the caps are on top of the chassis in plain sight.
When my hot glue gun shorted and blew the fuse in my iso transformer I decided to give up the practice altogether
Marilyn: Does anyone know what model TV this is? Any pictures
I would most definitely clean that thing, not too much, just get rid of the gunk.
Chuck, if you don't mind I would like to put a link to your Site on my Site?
I love that "New" Stromberg, it's a real time machine!
Eric
