Default Gec 12" bt5144.

Electrically similar to the GEC BT2147 except for the 12" round triode CRT and having a box like wooden cabinet.
Here are the first pictures of the dismantled set.
Scary business removing the chassis from the cabinet as the CRT is not properly secured to the chassis, no metal band around the bowl of the tube, just a piece of co-ax cable. The mask is badly perished, it will be removed from the tube and turned 180 degrees so that the bad part is at the top and then the CRT and mask can be positioned safely on the lower metal supports. Also, must find a metal band for the CRT bowl
First job is repair that bashed chassis.
