All the Ekco sets from this period are good sets and restore well. The plastic LOPT (flyback) housing looks in good condition which is very rare. They usually disintegrate. A strange plastic, clear thermosetting.

Although it looks rough, it's quite likely to work after replacing all the wax capacitors. There's one hidden in the tuner that's a bit tricky to access. Assuming you can find a CRT, the hardest part to replace will be the broken/missing knob. Not readily found even back in the UK.

I wonder how a set like this found its way across the Atlantic.

Service data is on Trader Sheet 1278/T115 which is common to to a number of Ekco sets from this era. The 267/1 was released in September 1956, the month of my birth. If you can't easily find a copy of the Trader Sheet please mesage me.
