Early 50's Bendix!
 I have a friend in North Carolina who has this gorgeous Bendix in his dining room. It looks to be an early 50's model and I believe it has a 17'' CRT. I never got a good look at the chassis. He said he never plugged it in because he thought the previous owner had taken it apart inside, but from what little I saw of it, I believe the important parts are all there. With any luck, it's still got a strong CRT. He had mentioned putting a plasma screen in there, but I told him it would be much more worthwhile to actually restore it. Maybe I'll convince him to let me have a look at it? Anyways, I have taken his photo over a year ago so I thought I'd share the story. I was curious to see if any of you guys were familiar with these and might know if there is any service information on them. If so, I'll pass the information along to my friend.

That's a very attractive cabinet and not a common set at all. Not many Bendix TV sets anyway, and I think this is fairly late for them. (not sure when they got out of the business)
My grandfather had a good year farming around 52 or 53 and so one day, while the kids were in school, he drove into town and shopped TV sets. The dealer carried Motorola and Bendix and he said the Moto was clearly a much better set so that is what he bought. And that is all I have to say about that

Looks like that set's worth restoring. Very nice case. I'm impressed.
