You have certainly found about the best built and most interesting line of sets in existance IMHO. You are very lucky also to have the good 19AP4 with no vacuum problems. Don't forget that the rubber sleeve over the metal part of the crt is there for a reason, If it is still there. If not just remember that the cone is the metal part, and to keep hands far away. Especially during operation.
Dont worry about the tuner. It should work fine and only adds to the sets many features that set it apart from the rest.
I would love to have another DuMont from the 40's but there doesent seem to be as many out here on the east coast. I guess maybe because they were more of a high end product marketed to the elite. They were the cutting edge at that time. Pretty darn expensive as well. The average family likely could not afford such a set. They had to stick with Muntz, and Motorola....
