This was the cabinet before I started this project.  I had already pulled the chassis and tube, so, the cabinet was nothing more than a home for a bunch of junk.  As you can see, it ain't pretty!

Here it is being stripped.  Personally, I've never liked doing woodwork.  Refinishing can take several days of work.  The humidity from living on the Texas Gulf Coast doesn't help matters much, either!  However, I was very pleased with the way the cabinet turned out.

Here is a shot of the donor CTC-15 chassis and rebuilt CRT installed.  This 23-tube chassis consumes 315 watts (roughly twice what a modern set would use).   This will help keep the living room warm in the winter!  Note the new flyback transformer in the bottom right of the photo.

It finally looks like a television!  It has a fresh new look and is now ready for use!  Originally, this particular model retailed for $600.00 in 1964.

The convergence set up came out really good.  It's almost near perfect.  Only the very outer half-inch edges are off.

Here she is in her moment of glory (the TV i mean).  Seeing the picture in person is far better than I can get in a photo. 

This set makes a great picture... especially considering that the chassis' only repairs involved a new flyback and swapping out the high voltage tubes.  All of the other tubes on the chassis were the ones that came with it.  Having the new picture tube makes a huge difference!
