(I would not dream of plugging this one in, except through a Variac -- and even then I wouldn't expect much, if the set worked at all.) The owner may have cabbaged the knobs for use with something else, and the tubes could be missing as well.

Mine the radio, and record player works, but the tv needs a high voltage cap
