Re-veneered? That's not the half of it, IMHO. This set needs a complete new cabinet. As it is, it looks like someone put a roundie chassis in a wood frame, open on all sides. Hardly the kind of set I'd want in my living room, even if it produced a decent picture. Heck, my RCA CTC185 with its charcoal-black cabinet, or any TV manufactured today (or, for that matter, in the days when sets were enclosed in wood cabinets), would look better than that roundie! Let's don't forget the heck of a shock hazard a set like this roundie poses either, with all HV points exposed (including the bell of the CRT). I'd look around for a cabinet from a junked roundie and put the chassis in there. Of course, if you wanted to keep the set in your repair shop or workshop, the wooden frame it's mounted in now would be OK.
