Hi there, I'm Nicola from Italy.
I'm an elecronic engineer and television sets and instruments collector.
Last weekend I received this Sylvania model 101 camera form my friend Fabio, that bought it in USA.
I restored it (repaced one big multi section capacitor, some other little capacitors, the bigger selenium rectifier, ad repaired the turret lens system that was damaged by bad packaging from american seller).
I also repaired the contrast potentiometer that worked bad, and saw that all potentiometers here have no brand and no value, but only some meanless numeric marks. You can see some shots of me and Fabio on a little tube portable TV set. Does anyone knows anything more about this nice piece? I think our camera is form the eand of 1950s, as there are some germanium diodes made in a way really different from 1959-61 and later diodes, and I already have some of them that are correctly dated 1952.
