Looks not to be in really bad shape at all. My similar model, yes with the KCS28 chassis is awaiting my attention sitting in storage. Yea, a few other projects to wrap up before getting on that one and low priority at the moment.

I'd like to be able to find something that matches for that grillcloth.

Are you going to at least check the CRT?

I could test the CRT if I knew what type it is. No obvious markings, and I have no schematic.

It's a 10BP4. The service info is in the mail.

There is hope. The CRT looked flatlined on the tester but started to creep back after I cooked it with slightly increased filament voltage for a while. This may be my chance to try rejuvenation.

(And now I need to resume my real project as promised!)

This guy is a troublemaker but we're starting to make friends. Lots left to do! Thanks for the manual, Steve.

Probably more than you ever wanted to know about this particular set. Anyway, here you have it.

I don't see a good match for the grille cloth at my usual sources (AES or grillecloth.com). Any other ideas? It's not strongly patterned, but has little sparkly sprinkles.

How about the spray glitter that women use in their hair? I seem to remember reading about someone doing that.

Great write-up

That is funny about the color, but P-4 phosphor is actually a mix of a "yellow" phosphor which peaks at about 550 nanometers and a "blue" phosphor which peaks at about 450 nanometers... it appears that the blue "ages" faster than the yellow under years of electron bombardment.
Cool observation!

Bravo

That's an excellent write up of your restoration project and will be a great help for my 8T241.

I see we're using the same technique of restuffing - dremel, stuff, j.b. weld

I've been searching for 'sparkly' golden grille cloth for several months with no luck

Some decent NOS/used stuff shows up on eBay now and then, but none so far with sparkles or metallic threads.
