I was actually thinking of contacting Monster Garage. I would let Jesse James monster this thing out. The engine would have to be wide enough to have the valve covers sticking out each side.
 The cabinet is pretty nice from 10 feet. It has some water damage on top and a few nicks. polaraman

Got into the beast yesterday.
Found one bad tube in the phono cahssis. It was easy to spot because it was cracked and white. I was lucky and had a replacement. The Tv chassis has a bad 6JU8. I had to order one. It will be here next week. The CRT tests perfect. Once I get that tube I can really go to town. polaraman

It was well worth the $50. It will be the center of my vintage color section. A local Tv friend is going to come over next week to help me set the color. I am not really up on setting the stuff on the neck. He is going to show me.

After seeing drh4683 work on the RCA combo, I decided to start restoration on this monster. I took the set apart for my move in January. Today, I removed the C20 chassis to put it on the bench. Next, I removed the radio chassis. Then I installed the CRT back in place. I took it out because I was afraid the movers would bust the CRT neck. The CRT has a rebuild date of 1980. Got the SAMS and will place the order for the needed CAPS next week. (payday) I had to label all the cables for replacement later. This is going to be fun!!!
 The Craig 8 track was toast. I may attempt to find a working 8 track to replace it. The record player/changer works like it should. It will sound much better when all the caps get replaced. I may also send the cartridge to West-Tech to be rebuilt. polaraman

Question?
Three capacitors in the radio chassis. The caps look like electrolytics but are not electrolytics. .047 @ 600v oil .022 @ 600v oil Where should I use to replace the above caps? Adam, I believe it is an RCA clone chassis. A few of us have CM roundies. Charlie has a nice CM here: http://www.ct-tv.50megs.com/ polaraman
