Sheesh, that one looks practically new. A tabletop porthole is high on my wish list.
Re the grille cloth, if it's OK apart from the fading, perhaps you could re-dye it. I haven't done this before, just thinking out loud. It's hard to find an acceptable match for some cloths, and if you're planning to replace it anyway, it's a no-risk experiment. I don't think you'd want to use old-fashioned Rit dye, which takes boiling or very hot water that might shrink your old cloth. Perhaps there are other dyes that don't need high temps. Or perhaps the Rit would work well enough in cooler water, as long as you leave the cloth in long enough. You're not dyeing coveralls for farmhands, just a decorative cloth that will cover an opening and never be touched again. Phil Nelson Last edited by Phil Nelson; 11-21-2010 at 02:04 PM.

Yeah. The Price was Right, also. Free.
I checked the CRT. After Emissions Testing for about 15 minutes, it went into the middle of the Green Section. Holds there, also. Brought the chassis alive with a Variac, with the 1x2 removed. Tubes lit up, transformer hummed. That's good. Cleaned the Chassis. It's beautiful. Everything's pretty shiny, almost pristene. All but 5 of the 20 tubes are origional Raytheons. About 12 Electrolytics and 25 Tubulars. All origional. I'll restuff as many as I can, bury the rest. I thought of Rit Dye, also. I'll check it out...
