    From the era when TV was considered magical and a social event. Very classy and elegant.

    The quality goes in before the name goes on. I have an old Dumont and it still receives shows from the 1940's.

    Like brand new. A lot of vintage TVs are at the bottom of land fills. The 1970s and below they didn't recycle at city dumps. They bulldozed everything underground. Depending how dry the soil is there's probably still some covered up by earth still in mint condition.

      These dumps will eventually become archaeological sites. There's probably landfills from centuries ago that remain undiscovered.

    You did an *excellent* job! It is probably working *better* than new, as those old waxpaper capacitors and bumblebees were never really that good. This is *definitely* a high-end console from the early postwar period.

    For anyone who's old enough, seeing the now-forgotten speckled "snow" on a TV screen when changing channels and hearing the static is very evocative of the past - and it no longer exists on TV today.

      Раньше, до того как пластмассовый мир победил, делали такие вещи. Они стоили дорого, но и служили долго.
      Этот вот - 1951 года.
