It's Time to Weed the Garden

[Chris K]

I need to make some decisions in the New Year to start moving out some of the vintage TVs I have. In my basement shop, the spare bedroom and out on the enclosed porch, I have close to 20 TVs of various brands and states of condition.

On the list to keep:

Restored Philco 19" Briefcase Model. Good picture and fully recapped/restored.
Restored Motorola VT-71. Good 7JP4, fully restored and in good working condition.
Unrestored 1948 17" RCA Console in pristine condition and with a strong CRT
Unrestored RCA with 10" NOS 10BP4 museum quality working great on original parts.
Unrestored 1950 Admiral Console just purchased on eBay. Beautiful condition.
Project Dumont Doghouse
Project GE 805 Locomotive
Project Crosley 10" very similar to Dumont
Project Hallicrafters 405 in great condition and a NOS 7JP4.
RCA 10" 721 perfectly restored.


On the list to go:

2 restored Philco Seventeener TVs with marginal CRTs. One with original stand.
Philco Predicta Holiday fully restored with a strong 21" low voltage CRT that usually have failed in this TV. Beautiful cosmetically and a great picture.
Restored RCA 17" Portable from 1958. Good picture, fully restored.
RCA 17" portable exact same model as above with a soft CRT. Restored
Restored GE 10" simple tabletop with a weak CRT.
Project Philco 7" Tabletop partially restored.
Fully restored RCA 21" Console with NOS CRT from 1954. Doors on front.
Zenith 10" "Bug Eyed" TV restored with composite video/audio hookup.

...and I know I'm forgetting a couple hidden in closets and corners! I hope I have the courage to go through with it when I start taking pictures to sell them!!!

Depending on price distance and transportation I might be interested in the Predicta Holiday...The rest are sets I have, had, or have had similar.
