Thanks for the suggestions Phil. This chassis is similar to the one you're working on isn't it? I couldn't find any markings on the chassis, but it looks similar to your photos.

I checked the sets I have. The one from Detroit has what I would describe as rubber bands around the metal supports. I can see why they are typically missing, as it pretty much disintegrated. The other wierd thing about the CRT mounting is the grounding of the DAQ. It is just a couple of wire loops on either side the yoke.

Thanks - I have a few rubber bands lying around
I've seen wire loops used on lots of sets for the dag. I don't think it's all that critical anyway since there's already a doorknob cap to filter the HV.

The general layout is quite similar from what I can see. No belt-driven fine tuner on this one, though. It has a separate knob above the channel selector. The knob moves a slug up and down with a lever, like a miniature oil derrick.

I have the tuner out for cleaning right now, by coincidence. There was some monkey business going on with this one. The RF oscillator adjustment screw for channel 7 was hanging slantwise, almost out of its hole. The screw for channel 12 was rolling around loose in the cage. "Gawrsh, Mickey, I wonder why channels 7 and 12 never pull in any good?!?"
