Got an RCA G2000 and a "salesman sample" RCA today

While I was there I also bought an RCA 11" monochrome table set (the one that people on ebay mistakenly claim is a salesman sample) that appears to be an unsold display set(and a 7" electrostatic silvertone I plan to use as parts for an identical set). The little RCA he apparently would put on the floor in the empty space left whenever he sold a console to get a "What's that?" Reaction from customers.

The RCA 2000 works but has dynamic convergence issues and had a noisy picture from the DTV box feeding it (which he claimed was the antenna, but I know better). There's no battery in the remote so I need to figure out the voltage to test it at, and try and source the right battery.
Tomorrow I plan to variac the little RCA and start trying to combine the 7" electrostatic set with the one I got from Kamakiri years s ago.
I'm probably going to loan my Zenith Avanti to a friend and put the RCA 2000 where it was.

Did that set come from the Cedar Grove, Oostburg area of Wisconsin?
