I think if I were local (and didn't have to pay the shipping, which seems high) I'd have to grab it. This would be a terrible, terrible headache to get working but, wow, what a challenge!

Looking at the quality work done on it , , and the unfinished state its in , , My guess would be that something nasty , , like death , occoured to the builder before he could finish it .....

Somewhere out there , , is a box of parts , and someone is looking in it saying "all we've got here is a tuner , an IF board , and a yoke ... Wonder what they go to ??? " .........

Recall that veterans would finance their first color TV back then with the GI Bill. It could explain the overly neatly dressed wiring. NRI and others had educational programs that centered around the student building a color set to 'learn to be a Color TV technician' and other such come-ons.

I sense the builder did in fact die during the construction and it is definately haunted. I would stay as far away from that chassis as possible lest you desire the horrors that will surely come to anybody that attempts to finish it. After my medication settles I will "read" even more into it to protect my dear friends here.
