Good find! Those don't turn up every day, barn or not. <P>Are you planning on leaving it out in the sun to air out for a few weeks before bringing it indoors? <P>------------------<BR>Dennis

No it doesnt stink :-) The barn was crammed full of junk 50 years ago .<BR>I took it apart today and was suprized how clean the chassis is<BR>. It looks like it has 10 or more filter capacitors . I poweredit on and got sound but no hi voltage . I doubt i will restore it ..to much trouble.. just clean it up & resell . <P>------------------<BR>

An Emerson, hmmm. All those electrolytics? Sounds like it has their "power supply from hell". Lemme guess: a power transformer, four selenium rectifiers and a ballast all on a hot chassis. Boy are you gonna have fun with this one!!!! CRAIG<P>------------------<BR>
