Thanks to all for the kind words!
I initially sent "rrago" a PM about picking up the set,his reply was" I will deliver it to you" So,how could I refuse? I gave him a 37-38 Philco radio for his troubles.So rrago is the "righteous dude" Unfortunately,he did not get the "full tour"of the insanity..I mean collection... Quote:

Nah, not yet. I changed the flyback, and I think I might have done something wrong, as I got no raster. I powered it down quick as to not damage anything. This one I may find an expert to handle as I've never done a flyback change on a color set.
Honestly, it scared the bejesus out of me powering it up after it was done as to what would happen!

Update
Initially I was interested in this set to use it for parts for a similar set,I did not
know it had a blond cabinet until I took delivery.So now I have 2 sets to restore instead of just 1  The blond cabinet looked as if it had been sitting in water for 50 years,so I figured it would be my first attempt at cabinet repair,after all,how much more damage could I do?I first had to glue and clamp it together to make it structurally sound,after that I glued the layers of delaminated wood together. Lastly I reglued the peeling veneer (what was left) I pieced in non matching veneer from a Philco cabinet that I had scrapped(as seen on the top right) The inside edges of the fascia moulding were missing veneer so I filled them with wood filler,and then painted over the wood filler.So far I stained the face and the top,the sides need alot of veneer and sanding. Remember,this is my first attempt,if this were a pre-war or some other uber rare set,I would have a pro do it.
