Yeah that looks like the C20/C21 chassis. It appears that someone yanked the 6AQ5 audio tube.
Hey you can't kill those old trucks!

The set was donated to the Boys and Girls club. They then sold it on Ebay. They also have a real nice thrift store. I also bought a Heywood Wakefield coffee table. I will sell that to get some money back from the trip. They had a real nice operation for kids. It was nice to see the effort they were taking. No information about the history of the set.

It don't look nearly as huge & outsized from the back as it does from the front. That's a set of SERIOUS speakers it has-bet you can't wait to hear 'em. GREAT score-you should be very, very proud !! -Sandy G.

You may need to take out a loan to pay the electric bill when you run that rig! LOL

The 6AQ5 may have been omitted from the factory as the sound from the TV would come through the stereo amp on this model.

I have a VCR/DVD player combo connected to CM and pulls double duty. The back of the player has both 75 ohm coax and rca outputs. The 75 ohm coax connector of course is plugged into the tv using a 75-300 ohm transformer. The RCA L & R audio outputs plug into the "TAPE" inputs of the stereo amp. Now, I can use the VCR/DVD player as my cable box, and for any tv station broadcasting in stereo, I turn on the stereo amp to TAPE. Sound is awsome! There is, however, a selector on the big amp that says TV, but it is only in mono, and personally, i find it to sound kinda cheesy. Of course, setting up the player this way also gives your DVD's in stereo as well. If I am simply listening to an audio CD, just pop it in the DVD player and turn on the stereo amp to tape while leaving the tv off. Playing music CD's thru these old tube stereos is awesome! You get a super-clean sound without it sounding so digital. Also, I find the tube amps in these big consoles to have really impressive stereo seperation. Come to think of it, i'd love to hear that new Motorola tube system that Doug brought home a few days ago!

This Baby has wheels!!!! I got it into the house. All by myself I might add. I spent $50 on the casters and wood. The radio and phono function perfectly. The tape player has the pause button stuck. I am going to rip into that soon. The Tv is working but needs adjustment. I dropped the back on the stuff on the neck. Tossed the color out of sync. I am working on getting it right. Will post pictures of the Tv soon. It is a C20 TV chassis.

Cool rig Polar! Those wheels look like they should be sturdy enough to carry it!
 From the looks of the picture, it shouldn't take much to get it playing right. Full raster, good brightness, tunes in stations... get your color back in order and you'll be set!

Kewl !!! I think that was $50 truly well invested on those 2X4s & casters. Looks like you're gonna have that bad boy back ship-shape in no time-does it SOUND as good as it looked like it would? -Sandy G.
