Nice job, Don! Looks similar to the set my neighbors had when I was a lad.
Did you replace the jug yourself? I've done some work inside sets, but messing with the picture tube scares the bejeebers out of me.

Thanks everyone, what a fun set,,,, now where will it go?
Hey Veg, Robert told me about a place in Des Moines that will rebuild picture tubes. My role was to ship it, which was as much as I wanted to do with a picture tube that can implode!

I love the step-stool/plant stand. My grandma has the same type but her's has gray upholstery.

Almost like the one I had, better picture. I love the sound on those old sets. Tube amplifiers rule.

Wow. That brings back some memories. In the 50's and early 60's, my family only bought Zenith TV's. We had a wood console Zenith until the early 60's, when it was replaced by a large "portable" model on a stand.
I think our wood console model was earlier than yours, but I can see the family similarity.

Really cool TV-reminds me of the old saturday morning days.Yes I can agree-tube amps rule!!Just wonder how practical it would be to use them in my home theater-have enough of 'em-but their caps are gone.Got plenty of tubes-but no electrolytics that the amps use.Having a hard time finding them at reasonable prices.So-the less exciting SS amp has to be used.
