Anybody ever seen one of these in person? I think they look cool.

It looks like the ancestor or the GE Forecaster.

If I did I'd try to buy it. That is some nice deco styling!

I recently saved a TS-125 chassis, 40 tubes, that was going to be dumpster fodder. The thing is rusty, and the vertical dial glass isn't there, but if all goes well, I hope to get it going again. It has the Dumont 12QP4 tube, which I hope has a little life left.
I'll post progress on this when I start on it. Clearly a deluxe chassis from an engineering standpoint, at least on paper, IMO.
