Wow! That was fast! Looks great!
My dad used to say that our '51 Capehart wasn't exactly black & white, but more black & blue-ish white. I can sort of see that effect in the picture above.

I'm glad to hear that you found a nice TV and was able to get it going. Good job and beautiful set.

WOW!
Boy, does that bring back some memories - particularly the rabbit ears atop the set!
The bluish cast of Capeharts was due to the Polaroid picture tube or glass. Capehart used Polaroid's glare-reducing technology as a means of getting a better picture.
I cannot believe how fast you accomplish major goals, Joe! The KD-10 was good as new in two shakes, and now this Capehart is finished in record time as well.
Congratulations! P.S.: What are you doing for signal?

If you use a DirecTV cable box you won't need the converter as the box converts the signal for you to ATSC. When we had DirecTV we never needed a converter for our Sony WEGA set.
BTW, the room that television set is in reminds me of a English flat somewhere. Very English looking.

It doesn't get any better than that! I imagine the Portland, Oregon area is ripe for those great treasures. Anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, I'd imagine. (image nicked from tvhistory.org)
