The TV was on someones enclosed porch, it was used as a shelf for flower pots.
I am not sure how he found it. The chassis are not rusted, and everything looks like a 20 year old TV as far as oxidation is concerned, nothing really bad.
The chassis restorer restuffed all of the caps topside and replaced the cloth wiring with cloth covered wire also. I have not seen under the chassis.
The original radio escutcheon was destroyed by exposure, but a model of floor radio used the same part, protected behind cabinet doors,which was purchased for replacement.
The motor controlled tuning was pretty interesting to see on the radio.
My Stromberg-Carlson has a motor controlled band switch, but it is 8? years later
