Appears unrestored. All RCA tubes. Haven't tested the CRT yet.

Very nice cabinet condition! Can't say much good about your camera, however!

I know. It's my cellphone.

The pictures don't do it justice.

Took a peek inside. The RCA tubes have codes on them like: 6-30, 6-24, 6-29, etc.

Are they original 1946 tubes?

Yes, mid 1946 date codes.

I will do my very best restoration on this chassis. Restuff all caps so it appears "ex-factory."

I'm tempted to pull all the factory tubes and record their original locations. Perhaps put them aside and swap in new tubes.

So, based on the tube's date codes, we can assume a third quarter 1946 assembly date?

So you think that is a low hour set, or NOS never really used....?

The chassis is covered in dust. No rodent activity.

I'm going to pull the chassis and document it thoroughly.

It appears completely original.

The Tuner tubes are dated 3-43. The earliest 1946 tubes are dated 6-17. The 5U4 is missing.

The cad plated chassis is well preserved under all that dust.

All caps and resistors appear ex-factory.

Using a soft brush, I swept aside a small section of dust from the top of the chassis. You can see thr cad plating is very nice.

The 7DP4 appears origional to the set.

The black socket is marked MADE IN USA 043.

This is fun...
