Based on all the tubes appearing to be original from 1949 and testing strong I would think it was a low hour set. However, all the caps look like hell.
They are all either made by the Industrial Condenser Corp or Chicago Condenser Corp which is still in business today.
Which leads to another mystery. The four HC deflection coupling caps have clearly been replaced. They are wired with clunky "j-hooks". However, they appear to be as old as all the other caps and are also made by CCC.
Could they have failed shortly after the set was sold and replaced under warranty by Meck ?
