Show us your vintage B&W sets!

[Dave S]

Here's my contribution. Got w-a-y too many sets after 20-some years of collecting and three moves, but here's a pic of the wretched centerpiece of my collection, in all it's "before" glory. I've had this set for 13 years and assumed I'd never get it done 'cause I'd never find a picture tube so it has just sat around.
Due to the extraordinarily kind assistance of Dave Johnson and Steve McVoy I now have a good 12AP4. The cabinet is currently undergoing restoration and if things go accoding to my usual thoughtful pace ("I think I'll have another beer instead of replacing those caps!"), I'll have the electronics done sometime within the next 13 years!
