to replace any of the tubes..... Maybe WG designed sets more under the tubes
max current - and they lived a lot longer..... For this set just look at the
H and V outputs..... from the pdf posted...... I'm getting more respect for
WG when I look at the insides of my set, and this color set.

Looking forward to seeing this one come back to life.....

Nice find, hope there are more out there.....

I wish there were more out there about the companies design criteria, and
in this case about the circuit design, if it was licensed from someone else,
etc.....

The set shown is a Warwick product, Sears source # 528.
Wells Gardner was never interested in building products for Sears. Most firms claimed that the Sears buyers were too cut-throat and there was little room for a decent profit margin. Sears had an interest in Warwick from the mid-50's.
