I just love the wrapped chassis- it must also make the set much more balanced. My CTC-4 Seville is hideously unbalanced- heavy in front and chassis-side of course.

Very happy for you ! I have a Sears B&W set I got a few weeks ago, 17" tube
based portable, and all the tunes are original also. Also a Wells ID numbered
tv. My set is like two our family had when I was a kid. We also had never had
to replace any of the tubes..... Maybe WG designed sets more under the tubes
max current - and they lived a lot longer..... For this set just look at the
H and V outputs..... from the pdf posted...... I'm getting more respect for
WG when I look at the insides of my set, and this color set.

Looking forward to seeing this one come back to life.....

Nice find, hope there are more out there.....

I wish there were more out there about the companies design criteria, and
in this case about the circuit design, if it was licensed from someone else,
etc.....
