The Mercury

[Adam]

Model 4188. Chassis 101 It uses the 12LP4.

This doesn't even appear in my Sams index, anyone know if there is a sams for this, if so I probably have it, if not does anyone have a schematic or know where to get one?

The finish really isn't as nice as in the ebay pics. Vineer is bad in places too. Some sets are clearly nice enough to leave the cabinet as is, others definetly need work, this is one of those sets where it's somewhere inbetween. I wish I knew more about repairing vineer, anyone recommend a good book or other source of information on the subject, I got a few other sets that need vineer work too. And the finish on this is odd, it's not really a clear finish, more like fake yellow wood grain painted on. Any thoughts on what it is?

The good stuff is that it's complete with both the back and the HV cage cover which are almost always missing from sets of this era. And it's like new behind the doors, the cloth is is excellent condition, all original knobs there. CRT tests good.
Here's some pictures...
