I saw one when I was about 15 years old - and it was falling apart - delaminating. The heat from the set overcured the epoxy that held the fiberglass together, and it became crispy. Dad did what he could with PC-7 epoxy, but after 2 cans of epoxy, called in a surfboard repair guy. He gave it a clamp/glue job, and got it to where the cabinet would mount together. Mind you, I never saw the "finished" product of the efforts, as I was in school when the customer ( a local locksmith) got his set. The whole repair was one knob and the epoxy job, no electronic work needed.

Capehart had a 19" B/W set with a faint green fiberglass "top" - saw one of those too. The bottom was stamped steel, as was the back. The handle was mounted to the chassis, and merely passed through some holes in the fiberglass. Series-chassis set with odd tubes - 16, 19 volt filaments.
