Picked this up today at the WARCI meet in Milwaukee. I was able to fiddle with and clean it up pretty decently inside, and cleaned the pots, and was able to get it to produce a picture and clear sound, as shown.

Reception is weak and very finicky on VHF though. UHF seems to work correctly. Though despite that, it is proving to be a very promising little set. I plan to leave the patina the way it is, as well.

The picture is pretty bright, but the set does have some healthy hours on it, but I think once it's filled with new capacitors and some adjustments, it should still produce a pretty healthy and watchable picture.

Now for the meat of the post: Does anyone have a PDF for the Photofacts for this Chassis? it has a lot of bumble bee capacitors in it, and honestly I don't know how to read them. I've never found a chart to translate their colors to make sense of them.
