That's a beautiful set. The cabinet looks in nice condition. If I had one of those my wife would never let it in the living room. She doesn't go for the ham shack / test equipment look. What do you do with it now? Keep it, enjoy it, inflict it on your friends and any other disinterested parties. Congratulations on a job well done.

That shortwave set looks great too. I have a Hallicrafters S-53A that I absolutely love. It took a lot of work to restore but has been well worth it. The performance from all the Hallicrafters sets is excellent and they're built like tanks.

Nice looking sets. With vintage TVs, as well as boatanchors, I think it's useful to at least warm them up once a month or so. Keep moisture out of places where it doesn't belong, keep the controls free and lubed, etc.
I confess that I don't do that with every single radio & TV in the house, but I would if I were a better person! TVs are more susceptible to backsliding, so I would at least fire it up the day before, say, a big party where you want to show Psycho or whatever on your "just restored" TV. Might avoid that embarrassing Poof! in front of friends :-)
