My goal is to preserve as many of these sets as possible for posterity. There were many variations on the same theme (630TS/8TS30 chassis) in that era. Each one, although a variation on the same original design, is unique in its own way. I even saw a 12" set based on the same 30-tube RCA chassis design recently. How many of us know the difference between a 1948 8TS30 and a 1948-1/2 8TS30? As I see it, virtually any set with an unmolested chassis and structurally-intact cabinet is a viable candidate for restoration. I'd rather re-wind a transformer than sacrifice another viable chassis as a "donor" unless several other vital parts had already been harevested from the donor chassis.
