I have an uncle with an early 70s GE console with doors. In the mid-80s he gutted it & custom fitted a 25" GE table set. (I think its one of those with the blue crt) That set now has some vertical defects but I don't think he wants to mess with trying to fix it. He will probably just buy a Flung Dung special down at Wal*Mart & swap it into the cabinet.
There is an outdoor fleamarket that I attend about once a year. For several years now one vendor has had the same gutted RCA cabinet. If it had the innards I'm sure it would be long gone. I would agree, though, that most of these were gutted many years ago.
I read somewhere that Robin Leach had tv sets all over his house, at least one per room, including at least one very early set. The article mentioned that every one of them was kept behind doors as he hated the look of a blank picture tube.
