It does look good. Get that catarac fixed and it will be all the better.

What a beautiful monster it is!!! I wonder what the dimensions are on the set? I would love to have a roundie combo but this set is too far away.

I had a combo identical to this when i was a teenager and always regretted getting rid of it. If it were closer i would snatch it up in a second! The stereo sounds great on this model and although its a smaller combo than some it weigh's a ton! I'm still bouncing it around.....lol

This is a very nice set. Greenfeild is about 80 miles from me. I might be able to save it. I have no combos in the collection. Sounds like the CRT is weak......

Ok, Im weak and caved in and bid on the set and won the auction. It'll be my first combo. Now I definitly need to make room. That means a few sets will need to go to new homes. Dont know which ones yet.... I want to put this set in place of the space command 600 console thats been my daily watcher for the past 2 years non stop and has been working almost perfect. Time to give it a break for a while. Hopefully this combo can be put to the test and survive without multiple breakdowns.....
My only hope are two things: The CRT is good, and a hopefully a relativly low hour set (no charred pc boards and/or rigged up components). You will all soon find out!

Glad you ended up with that one as well! I was afraid some amateur would get it and "attempt" to restore/repair it to death! Or the other worse case, someone that wants it as a "display" then ends up throwing it out a year or so later. These sets need to be saved, restored (To original!) and displayed for people to see, and not hoarded in a musty garage/basement stacked on top of one another!
BTW, Doug plans on setting up a television museum sometime in the near future and I look forward to it!

or the video output tube. Doug, You should get it! Even if it is a weak CRT at least you could rejuvinate it. It's got that cool style turntable as well......

They should throw in that Lovin' Spoonful 45 on the turntable as well. I bet it would sound good on that boomer.

Someone grab it!
