I found some corn like that in a radio once! Maybe more than once. I have one GE table model from the 30s that a former pastor of mine gave me. He found it in a barn. A board had been nailed to the back, completely shutting it off, and still there was rodent evidence inside.

Should be a lot of fun outfitting that building. I almost built one like that but made the radio/TV rooms part of the house instead.

I've also had bad luck with Sylvania picture tubes. I like their products aside from that. Most Sylvania crts have the same green halo as Zenith but I have seen exceptions. There was some swapping around, too. One crt I had was a "Zenith" rebuild but the EIA told me Sylvania did it.

I haven't been able to do any real bench work since the winter I guess. Too many other projects. My goal is to get things cleaned up around here by the time cold weather sets in, then make up for lost time.
