Virgin 1958 Space Command 400???

[Tubejunke]

I recently brought home a Zenith Space Command model C4700R. Like a dummy I plugged her in to the wall and didnt bring her up slower with my series 100w lamp jig. What I got was a good loud hum with a very healthy horizontal line. Obviosly the set had cap issues. Upon inspection of the uncommonly clean chassis I noted that all tubes were of the same vintage and O.E.M. I believe that this set has gone virtually its whole existance without use. I guess there are a few out there that for what ever reason were never used. Its kind of exciting to think that a re cap job would give me a good daily use antique TV. With a 24" screen this beauty would be just as good to look at as anything else. I do not have a remote for this set and if anyone has an extra I am willing to buy or trade. I have a bunch of N.O.S. flybacks and yokes to get rid of. Any stories and helpfull hints concerning this Zenith will be highly apreciated.
