RCA 741PCS restoration

[bandersen]

A few months back I had this massive 300 pound set shipped to Chicago from Arizona using UShip.

Finally, got it inside recently so I thought it was time to start a restoration thread on it.

Apparently, this started out life in a bar in Minneapolis.
Then shipped to Northern Illinois in the 80s where it was purchased by the guy I got it from.
Then Boston where it was electrically restored, then Colorado now back to Illinois.

It uses that same basic system as all the RCA 5" projections sets. I find this one especially appealing as it is a TV only version with a bit of flair. It was marketed towards hotels and upscale bars.



Here's mine the night it arrived fall of 2023.
