i recently got a metal table model simular to this and i think its 21" , after reading this post something that was just thought of as what am i going to do with it has now been bumped up to where am i going to put it .

let him play the wii on it as long as he promises not to hit the set or bump it , might be fun for him and maybe friends .

Worked on the set a little more this evening. Since it will be a while before I find out if my cleaning of the tuner was successful and the fact that the tuner is hard wired and inaccessible for cleaning without disassembly i decided to make it modular. I added Molex plug for the wiring and an RCA plug for the signal cable. This way, if I need to service the tuner, I can remove a few bolts, disconnect the plugs and remove it. While this is certainly not original, it does make the set easier to service.

I did get it running, and kept it for several years, until we moved to a new home in 1967.

Sure did bring back some GREAT memories looking at yours. I hadn't thought about that set in 30 years or more. Thank you for posting it!

I'd sure love to see more pictures of it.

If I get enough of my projects done this summer to get to it I'll start a restoration thread with pictures. It is near the bottom of my cue due to the very weak CRT.
