When you do get it home, line up a few toy airplanes atop it and take a picture.

OK......back home after a long day of driving, loading and unloading. Here are some pictures of the set. It is a Magnavox model 2MR556K in Fruitwood with a C39 television chassis. The lady I bought it from is the original owner who is 81 years old. She told me that the TV hasn't worked in a long time, and she's just been using it as a stand for current TV. The inside is really dusty but looks totally unmolested. It has the original Magnavox 21FJP22 tube, which started out a little flat, but is waking up nicely with running the filaments for a while. The photo of the CRT tester shows what I measured after about 10 minutes of wake-up. I'll leave it cook for an hour or so and re-test. The set has the original remote control and the 45RPM adapter for the turntable. The amp and tuner are solid state, and there are a 15" woofer and horn tweeter on each side of the cabinet.
