I love these old Porthole TVs and look forward to reading about your restoration process.
I know you are going to do it right and I can pick up some more tips.

I followed your whole restoration saga with great interest and have already started going through it again when I realized how similar it was.

I'm really happy this set has a "real" power transformer and parallel wired tubes rather than the hot series wired one that's so similar looking.

LOL - Thanks for the tip. I had my chance to get one with a BIN of $100 a couple years ago, but hesitated a couple minutes too long and have been kicking myself ever since. Now I can can finally let it go

What a nice set! Will look forward to reading about your restoration work on this. Hope you are able to repair the bad finish and wood damage rather than stripping. Interesting it has that newer capacitor. Wonder how long ago it was worked on? Sorry to hear the CRT is weak. Hope you can find another soon. That's a very handsome set!
