May sound goofy, but it's easier than building a complete set of extension cables that you may never use again.

Just like there is no such thing as a stupid question, there is also no such thing as a "goofy" idea. I never thought of several of the ideas that I have been given. I think turning the set on its side and pulling the chassis backward may work. Where there is a will there is a way. Although I would need a helper for getting the big lug up on the table. I could do it on the floor if no help is available.

Thanks everyone! I wasn't getting much feedback for a while. Any other general pointers with late 50's Zenith black and white sets are always appreciated.
