A very nice unique and rare set indeed. Nice and clean, and looks to be well taken care of with low hours use. Glad the CRT came to life, so it should produce a really good picture when your finished with it. I didn't even know Hoffman made any color sets back then. Seems as if the HV section is the first thing people messed up back then with poor solder joints, bad lead dress, etc. The 21CT55 that I restored, someone had plastered the area with HV dope, instead of replacing the big doorknob capacitor, making quite a mess of the HV cage. Hope your contrast control works out ok for you. Hope to see a picture of it working when you get it up and running.
