I gotta agree, that that one is pretty icky. But like they say, beauty in the eye of the beholder. But personally I'd keep my wife over that thing. Not that she'd have any say in the matter.

Hopefully you can make it shine and work well. And if you're lucky, she'll let you set it up in some "public" portion of the house (like a guest bedroom or dare I say it the living room..).
Sometime she'll have friends over: "Oh, I picked that old TV set up for my husband. He enjoys restoring and having antique TV sets. I think the soap operas are on now, lets watch one in black and white, like in the olden days..."

That white fuzz on the knobs cleans up pretty easy. It's some sort of impurity in the plastic. So, if the chassis isn't all rusty, or the cabinet rotten, it should be fine once worked on. Though that rusty trim under the knobs is not a good sign...

I had one like that and sold it at the swap meet a few years back for $5. It needed a hor out tube socket due to arcing but it lit up enough to tell it also had a vertical problem. I just had to make room.
I had to make room. I never did find the model number in Sams but estimate its from 1956-7 and VERY simple to restore. BTW, Ive driven around with something in the back of my car for weeks because I'm out of room and deciding what can go to make room. I hope you can get it

UPDATE: Well the dump guy never called me back, so that was that. Or was it?
Unbeknownst to me, my wife got out early from work today, and headed down there herself... hahaha this is the text message she sent me this afternoon: Last edited by Celt; 05-04-2017 at 07:11 PM.
