Pile of TVs arrive from NY for restoration
11 sets arrived today from New York. This will keep me busy for the next year.
2 Tandems, 2 Pedestals, 2 Holidays, a Debutante, a Princess and a Siesta. At least it's not all Predictas. Buried in the mix are a Dumont "Stratford" and a Zenith "The Claridge" 12" tolex covered porthole. I'll post more as I go through them. I can already see some potential issues like a brightener on the Dumont. Last edited by bandersen; 09-12-2022 at 02:50 PM. |

So . . . somebody shipped you eleven TVs to restore?
Just curious, Phil Nelson Phil's Old Radios https://antiqueradio.org/index.html |

Sort of. I was contact on FB months ago by a collector in the NY area about restoring his TVs. We knew shipping would be tricky, but I have an old high school buddy that lives near him that sells at swapmeets all over the country.
He happened to be coming out this way for the big midwest vintage computing meet this weekend and agreed to transport all the sets in his trailer for a modest fee. |

I like your canine helpers! They can't help with the heavy lifting, but are good companions while you work.
