Sylvania 1-076 arrived!

Same "no pix" problem here. Maybe they didn't survive the trailer ride? I PM'd John.

I've micaculously got the pix now. Now here's my opinion. You don't need no stinkin' rosettes. Seems quite possible that someone decided (perhaps at the factory) that it looked as good or better without the rosettes.

Or, maybe the Sylvania legal department decided that as add-ons, a little kid could figure out how to take them off and swallow one.

One person's opinion,

After looking more closely I can see where one was glued to the left side. I don't see any evidence on the right side.

I'll leave this for last and decide then which way I prefer it. I tried a quick search per Bob's suggestion. I need to find one that's 3/4" in diameter. Most seem to be much larger than this.

I've started to remove the cedar lining. Fortunately my dad didn't glue them in. They're tongue and groove and were nailed as you would flooring with small brads. The nail holes are almost invisible.

I was happy to see the tube chart is still there. I'm a bit confused though. They went to the effort of making a label especially for the model 1-128. That uses a 12" CRT. Yet they show both the 10" 10MP4 and 12VP4 as possible CRTs. Why show the 10MP4 when it was used in the 1-076?

It's also curious that the "UL" label was inked out. I wonder if it didn't meet UL certification?

I'll take more photos after I remove all the cedar and figure out what's missing. I found one surprise already. Maybe it'll be clear after I remove more cedar.
