| I SCORED THIS SET AT THE FIRST EARLY TELEVISION FOUNDATION SWAPMEET. THIS SET IS RESTORED AND WORKING. IT WAS DISPLAYED AT THE SECOND ETF SWAPMEET. HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE ELECTRONIC RESTORATION AS I WENT ALONG. I USED VIDCAPS, SO THE PICS ARE HORRIBLE. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| THIS IS A VIEW OF THE CHASSIS. THIS SET USES A 16GP4 METAL CONE CRT. IT HAS A PLASTIC SHIELD OVER THE CONE TO PROTECT THOSE SERVICING THE SET FROM GETTING BLASTED. SOME MANUFACTURERS LEFT THE CONE EXPOSED. |

| THIS IS THE CHASSIS BEFORE RECAPPING. I REPLACED ALL PAPER AND "BLACK BEAUTY" CAPACITORS, AS WELL AS TWO ELECTROLYTICS. THE FILTERS REFORMED NICELY. THE TWO LYTICS THAT WERE SHORTED WERE IN THE VERTICAL SECTION. LOOK AT ALL THOSE ROTTEN, EVIL PAPER CAPS. THERE WAS ONLY ONE BLACK BEAUTY CAP IN THE WHOLE SET. IT WAS A REPLACEMENT FOR AN EVIL PAPER CAP THAT DIED. EITHER WAY, ALL THOSE ROTTEN PAPER CAPS WERE REPLACED. |

| HERE IS THE CHASSIS AFTER RECAPPING. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE, BUT I LEFT THE ONE BAD ELECTROLYTIC CAN IN PLACE AND ELECTRICALLY DISCONNECTED IT. THE NEW CAPS WERE HIDDEN UNDER THE CHASSIS. I COULD HAVE RESTUFFED THE BAD CAN WITH NEW PARTS. THERE WAS PLENTY OF ROOM TO HIDE THE NEW PARTS. THERE IS ONE TUBE THAT IS ON THE CHASSIS, BUT NOT SHOWN IN THE SCHEMATIC. IT IS A 6AU6. SINCE I WAS RECAPPING ANYWAY, I DIDN'T BOTHER TO TRACE OUT THE CIRCUIT. I THINK IT WAS SOME SORT OF PRODUCTION CHANGE. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| THE CABINET HAS SOME VENEER PEELING AND ALSO NEEDS RELAQUORED. THE CABINET RESTORATION WILL HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE. MEANWHILE, THE SET IS VERY PRESENTABLE. FORTUNATELY, THE VENEER DAMAGE IS CONFINED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE CABINET. THE OUTSIDE OF THE DOORS NEED ATTENTION, WHILE THE INSIDES ARE FINE. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
