1954 Majestic Model 84
As of this writing, I only know one person who owns an all tube television. Since I've recently acquired a B&K 467, I decided to ask them if I could check the emission on their set. While I was at it, I took some reference photos:
    Both the front control door and the company address label are missing. The front baseboard is cracked from being hit by a weight. The CRT neck guard has a large dent in it as well. Not too bad...      The Series 124 chassis has a date code for March of 1954, but the RCA 21EP4A CRT is a replacement from October of 1960. There are several GE replacement tubes present as well.   The dust cover for the yoke has shattered. Hopefully, it's just a decorative piece. -- As for the emission readout, it initially pegs the meter, then settles to '1.2' in the good range after running for about 20 minutes. No significant leakage. Its' life test is rock solid. On the other hand, it's missing the 3 amp line fuse. The owner also tells me that when he last used it, the channels were drifted out of line with the channel indicator. There's a reason this unit has only been a decorative piece for decades. I know some of you (Eric H, Electronic M) have worked on older variants of this set, but I haven't seen any info on this particular one.

Odds are with a proper recap it will be a decent set. Not having looked at the tube layout on my Majestic in 2-4 years I can say that they appear to have the same tube compliment/chassis design. Unless there were magetic centering rings on the yoke cover it is no major loss......Just don't touch the terminals under the cover when it's on, and don't touch the focus coil housing to them thereby shorting them to ground (the sweep system will be unhappy if you do).

**Small update**:
The power cord is frayed under the insulation and doesn't provide a reliable connection, so I removed it and gator-clipped a modern power cord to the interlock for dim bulb testing. A screwdriver jumped the empty fuse holder. I tested the set at three wattages: 100, 160, & 220. All three gave virtually the same results: 1.) The bulb(s) dropped to about half brightness. 2.) No raster. 3.) Faint hum from the speaker with the volume turned all the way up.
