Rescued a Admiral B&W set today
3 Attachment(s)
Hey all, my local antique store had a 50/60's admiral b&w set chassis c24m21, the tag on the front said "will make a great craft project. Dog bed? Bar? etc. well today is %50 off sale and i'm looking at the set thinking what is probably going to happen to it. So i ask the guy if i can plug it in, he does and i can see some light and static on the speaker. long story short $24 and i get it home and a few little adjustments........... anybody crave one of these? had one as a kid etc. I didn't want it turned into a useless fad object.
OOps i think should have gone in the rectangular tube tv section. |
Good save!
|
I am glad you saved it!!!
|
I think you did the best craft project of all: "TV restoration". (-:
|
If you can make the ETF meet there are folks that like working TVs.

That is a screaming mid-'60's console TV. Very nice. It looks like a TV right off the set of Bewitched! :)

I googled the chassis number and Radiomuseum com/org whatever says it is from 1960. there is one bad thing with this set, it has a tube brightner on it and is extremely dim without it hooked up. i don't suppose anyone has a bright 23gp4 lying around? I did find a old advertisement on newspapers.com from Mar 61 where this model was on sale for $229 in Texas, must have been a close out sale. https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/61749968/ |

The CRT can be rejuvenated probably just once. I might wake up a little more. |

I've seen plenty of radio meets from various clubs were a radio vendor has a vintage TV or two in the mix. I don't think I've ever seen a radio meet where a mix of actual radios and non-radio (but tangentially related items like TV HiFi, literature etc) items was not welcome. Most clubs allow/get a nice (sometimes astounding) diversity of ephemera in their swapmeets. :thmbsp: It is not uncommon for me to drag TVs to meets...Even did that at the last WARCI meet. |
Beautiful pictures of beautiful TV's.
Thanks. |
