I will take pictures of the chassis and post them tomorrow afternoon. I guess I should have posted this question AFTER I had a little more info.............But every time I get a new project I go nuts until it is taken care of.....almost an obsession!.......Its pretty much all I can think about......Anyone else get like this??

Attached is the schematic from Beitman's on the chassis that Muntz used in 1951 for many 16 and 19 inch sets.

If this is the correct schematic, shoot me an eMail and I'll send you a B&W scan of it and the two other pages (no chassis layout) next week. That higher quality scan will be well over the size limit.

Sorry for the quality, but I first sent a highly compressed 400K image and VK shrunk it to 1/8 width, making it unreadable. Will try two half-width images, although it takes more bandwidth and see what happens.

Actually, I'm accused of researching too long before starting my restorations.

The next set on my restoration list was purchased in December of 1966.

No, it is not that bad!

In 1966 I paid $15 for a non-working Pilot TV-37 and immediately repaired it and used it as my daily driver until I bought a 15" Sears (reranded Toshiba all-tube) as soon as NBC started televising the space shots in color.

That little 3" set was still working fine, when I last turned it on in 2010, but unfortunately it took a swim when my basement flooded a year ago. I hosed the red mud off and it has been sitting in my garage drying out ever since.

Now, what I really go nuts on is lousy internet service! When I lived in Ohio, I had Lima's own WCOIL (Western Central Ohio Internet Link) which I affectionately called "Water Closet OIL" and sorely missed it after moving to Virginia. Thanks our current phone company's refusal to install copper phone wires, or paying more for the phone company's internet than my house payments, I'm limited to Comcast which offers one quarter the service at twice the cost of WCoil.
