Zenith 28T925R

[baursam]

Hi Folks....First time I have posted on here, but read the forums religiously.

Up here in Calgary, there is very little in the way of vintage tvs in the market, be that Craigslist or Kijiji, but I hit the jackpot today.

I found an old 1949 Zenith 28T925R "Mayflower" porthole set for $40.00. Have only had a brief look at it this eve, but will have a good look on the weekend with better lighting.

Case is in ok shape, very restorable. Chassis is mostly complete, but looking further back it looks like the speaker may be missing. The crt was broken in half at the neck, so am looking for a 12LP4 crt, should anyone have a working spare sitting around. The right hand knob appears to not be original, but looks to be something from the same era.

Here are a couple of pictures. From what I understand, these sets are not the easiest to restore, so am not going to jump into this for awhile.
