1949 Silvertone 101.867
Guys,
I just acquired this TV. It is kinda interesting. It is a 1949 Silvertone 12" TV. Catalog number #9121, chassis number is 101.867. It uses a 12LP4 CRT. Insides are real dirty from dust, but looks like no rust and seems to be all there. It uses push button tuning. Whatta think? |

I think we are in for another highly skilled and very detailed restoration thread.

Looks a lot like Philco parts.

I've never seen that cabinet variation of that set before.
If I'm not mistaken that is a Colonial radio made set. I've been on the lookout for one for years.

According this this web site:
https://www.radiomuseum.org/dsp_hers...ompany_id=3331 The manufacturer was Colonial Radio. |

The more I look at this TV the more I like it. The chassis will clean up real nice.
I got this TV at a local auction. It was in all the stuff that is a like a pre-sale. The stuff isn't listed in the Auction listing and the pre-sale stuff usually consists of chassis, cabinets, basket cases, junk, etc. I was the only bidder and I thought that I'd get the TV for the 12LP4 CRT and junk the rest. Then I started to look at it closer later that day and I started to like what I saw. This TV will make a great restoration series. BTW, the 12LP4 tested very good on my BK 467! |

Very nice find! I've never seen that particular model before. I love '40's TV's that have those quirky design touches. It makes them look so primitive. The chassis resto will likely be a challenge as it probably has a large number of caps to replace. Good luck with it!

Sure a lot of iron in the power xfmr. Is it 25 cycle? If so, it'll be super happy on 60 cycle.

Congratulations. This is one of my favorite sets. The design is not quite like anything else - especially the tuner.
