New proect! 1953 Hoffman Television Super Receiver Mark V Tv Phono Radio Console

I should be picking up the set sometime this Sat, and once I get it home one of the first things I will do after removing the deadly asbestos from it is looking at the CRT and putting it on my B&K tester to see how good it is and try to work out no ion trap can be seen in the picture.
Also take a good close look at the FBT, remove the 5U4GB bring the heaters up slow and see if there is a good 750+ ac at the 5U4GB plates.

If you need a manual for this TV, I have the hard copy of the Sam's for this TV in my Sam's Collection that I can scan and send your way for you.

And, yes I did check to make sure it was the same unit as yours, so I didn't accidentally make the mistake I did with the guy on here that is working on the old Silvertone TV, and think I had the manual for his TV and turned out to be for another similar TV.

Yes, I believe it does, I'll take a look for sure.

My Sam's stash seems to be an odd mixture of Midwest, East Coast and West Coast makers, which is kind of odd, seeing as they came from a shop here in the Midwest...

I did eventually find it, it's spread between 2 separate SAMs folders.

the TV chassis matches what is in 201-5 but is the TV only, no Radio.

just by random chance looking on eBay I spotted the right folder for the combo 221-6 which has the radio but does NOT match the TV chassis.
close, but has critical differences

221-6 is the one I have, so I could send you the Radio portion of the Sam's I have, and you could use the TV portion you have and you should be able to get by with those two.
