Steve,
Great job!!!!! I remember how sad that set looked when it was mine in the 80s. I can't 100% recall, but I think that was a Gary Hough set. I am confused about where i got that one.
Did you do something with the veneer on top? It sure looks nice now! I variac'd it up when I got it, and it had high voltage. I never fooled with it after that because it was not yet collectable then, just a big old TV with a busted CRT. I was going to dump it when I moved from Northridge in '89, but Len told me he'd save it if I hauled it over there. I helped him deposit it in that loft where it was kept all these years, and Have Mercy on whoever got it down that switchback open staircase that's more like a ladder
Did Len show you his other CTC-4, which is his daily watcher that he has had since he got when he was a student in the electric shop at Beverly Hills High School? I think he said he got that set in '61.
