I love these old Porthole TVs and look forward to reading about your restoration process.
I know you are going to do it right and I can pick up some more tips.

I followed your whole restoration saga with great interest and have already started going through it again when I realized how similar it was.
I'm really happy this set has a "real" power transformer and parallel wired tubes rather than the hot series wired one that's so similar looking.
