Hi to VK, here's our new boondoggle aka old color TV!

Hi Timmy: We're in Endicott (Binghamton) right up Rt 17 aka I-86, about an hour S of Syracuse, just 7 or so miles from the PA-NY state line!

That's very good to know Timmy, there's no doubt we're way over our head with this one!

Na , it's not that bad it will pay off when you sit down and watch an old show on that set.

That's most certain, but we're no doubt going to need to turn to someone who knows what they are doing to avoid wrecking it, as they say "first do no harm"!
Furniture refinishing we can do, electronics, not so much!

Did you get the set to it's new home yet ?

[SueAnders]

Yes we did Timmy, it's so exciting! I added more information and pictures on another thread, where it seems I should have continued on with things here.
Still learning!

I think it's wonderful that there's people who are interested in preserving these important historical artifacts, as that's what they've now become! It seems that there's always a few people with the foresight to understand the real significance of important technological milestones, and television was no doubt one of the most important of the last century, yet so few have preserved what's left of these great examples of 20th century America progress! As I said at the beginning, we never had color tv in the '50s and '60s, and it had a powerful allure. My Mom was widowed when I was 10 and didn't have a color TV until around 1978. So it was always a very special thing to have to me.
