Packard Bell 17VT1

[Winky Dink]

If you knew me better, you’d realize that I might take down the entire power grid by changing the batteries in a flashlight. (Just ask my wife what happened the first time I tried to fix a toilet.)

Well, it only took me six months to get back to this. I did a quick repair on the escutcheon and reassembled it for photos.



.
. It's a 1956 Packard Bell 17VT1--a cube with a rectangular CRT in front, knobs on one side, and a simulated wood finish. Chassis V8-1.





Before I pull the chassis again, I have an opening question:

Should I pull the CRT first to start the chassis work?

Thanks,
Henry

Henry, it would certainly make life easier. But the question is are you up to reinstalling the CRT and all that goes with it?

Your call...
