Sixty-one feet? The CRT looks to me as if it is no more than 23" at best. Where did that 61' figure come from?

I was thinking before Polarman said that the '61 referred to the year of manufacture, that it might refer to the length of the beast rather than the CRT.

I finally made room and have the set on all fours. The radio works fine and sounds pretty good. Have to do some cleaning of the controls. I will also will have to pull each tube to check them.

The record player motor is pretty gummed up. It will not allow the motor to spin like it should. I pulled it apart and the bearing are not burnt up. What should I use to clean and lubricate the bearings?
