Codes & Other info.....

This set is a Model Q5528WA, chassis no 17MT803. On top of the flyback cage is 3 44 67 (I assume this is a '67 model?). Any other dates I should look for?

I assumed that's what the smell was....I'm used to the hot dusty smell of an old TV strored for years, but this was almost acrid. Ran it for an hour today and the smell is gone, so I'm not gonna worry about it.

Upon testing, the picture tube showed dead, but after letting the filaments cook at 8.3v for about 15 minutes, it came back about 1/3 of the way into the green. Think I might let it bake a little more tonight and see what happens.
