I have the console version of that Sparton. It kind of works as received, but I need to re-cap it.

Really I should re cap mine as after all these years the horizontal size takes a few minutes to fill the screen, and after about 20 minutes the vertical size starts shrinking at the bottom. Very likely these are both cap issues, the later may be a resistor changing value after heating up.

I say this set would go another 50! Its built like a tank. It picks up channels clear as a bell with NO antenna, and the raster is bright and crisp as any I have ever seen.

Does anybody know how Sparton ranked as far as quality? I would compare it to the quality of a Dumont myself....

kbmuri,

Great catch.

I'm not sure how this is still working, but it is and should be snapped up right now.

It's the same seller who has the CTC-4 on the ETF site. He also had a Zenith like the one in my avatar.

Big screen 630

Saw this earlier this week as part of a massive estate sale. Now it is being parted out. Looks like a 12" upgrade of the classic 630. No HV cage cover. Not mine.

It is near me and I can pick it up and deliver to Kutztown on Saturday only. Pricey at $300. Make offer.
