Very nice. I did notice that there is no cover on the bottom of the barrel type tuner? Is this original? I have been restoring Hoffman Easy Vision TVs and notice that some of these have covers, some do not. Also notice that the high voltage rectifier tube is underneath the chassis. I have some Hoffman table models also designed like this.

How bad were the contacts? I have gotten the Hoffman sets from all around the central US(I am in Texas). The ones from Houston(very warm a humid most of the time) require quite a bit of cleaning. I would suspect Portland could be similar in humidity, but much cooler. (I have been to Portland for a work conference and vacation, so am somewhat familiar with the area).

I have also run into some early '50's Motorolas like this.
