Talking Home at last!

After oiling up the already good looking cabinet, this is what it looks like: simply beautiful.

This set was really taken good care of. There were only a few light scratches that buffed out. I don't think I'll buy another however as this one is HUGE. 44 inches long, 3.2 feet tall and 2 feet deep!! Weighs in at around 220 pounds too

The Chassis is very clean, both radio and TV. The turntable motor needs cleaning, it turns real slow. The stylus (or cart, which ever this uses) is missing.

The CRT is a new sylvania 19AP4B that is dated 1-25-58. I haven't gotten around to testing tubes yet, I'm still recovering from getting this thing into my bedroom. Even with three people this is heavy.

The TV sound is routed through the radio amplifier, which is connected to a large 10 inch speaker. It should sound good after its done.

Overall its an awesome piece, and even goes well with the antique furniture in the room. Anybody know roughly when this was made? It uses the 21J1 chassis.
