Yes, I had to remove the door pulls when I moved it. They are sitting right here, in a plastic bag along with the HV cage cover.

Certainly beats getting the pulls broken and damaging "things along the way" such as car interiors, walls, and legs (human that is ) Not much more disappointing than having an item that is almost complete and missing those items that are often gone or broken; knobs, pulls, HV cages and backs...

Obligatory chassis shot: CTC-5AA



This one is odd; there are some caps with leads clipped for no reason, jumpers placed around peaking coils, and other strange 'mods' I can't explain. First order of business is of course a recap, so off I go to the interwebs to search for the multitudes of caps I will need. After that all the tubes need testing, and there is much cleaning to do inside the cabinet.

looks like I have a bunch of era-correct tv tubes that would fit this. RCA, Olympic, Sylvania, etc. let me know if you are having trouble finding any.
