'Fraid I'll have to keep my new $40 TV, torn cloth and all.
I made a deal with my better self. Dude, you can buy it

Coupla missing tubes, coupla replacement caps underneath, nothing too scary. A mouse peed by the power xfmr but he was not a repeat offender. No, I will

I talked to the house owner, who was a child when the family bought the place in 1950. This TV dates from then. The back was with a pile of papers in the basement. Also the program from this guy's high school commencement. I guess he has kind of lost interest in the material world.
Despite the mess inside, it's a cool house in a desirable Seattle neighborhood near waterfront. Two blocks away is a little place for sale at $1 million; that lot has about the same square footage as my house.
Chassis KCS38. Anyone willing to scan a schematic? I promised not to work on it, but reading doesn't count
