Zenith Porthole Combo

Well.....I went and picked up the Zenith porthole set that I posted about yesterday in the curbside forum. I gave the guy $30. The thing needs a lot of work, but I'm pretty good with cabinet restoration and I've wanted a porthole set ever since I (regretfully) sold my old porthole back in the 80's, so I'm going to keep this one. The 12UP4 picture tube is really flat, so I'm letting it cook at 7V for a few hours to see if I can wake it up. May be looking for a replacement tube at some point. The set is pretty complete except for the antenna tuning knob at the top of the screen and the back panel, and its really dirty. This one is going to need a full cabinet strip-down and refinish.
