I would like to find an RCA CTC 36, or CTC 53, these are the plastic cabinet "portable/table model" 19" screen color set. I will be at the ETF MEET in Hilliard Ohio, May 1,2,3. Thanks, Dave.
I also have this posted this in the "Classified" Section under the "Post your want lists" thought I'd try here as well! Looking forward to 1st. weekend in May

One thing on my serious want list right now is a bubble magnifier of any kind for a 10" set.

Or, anyone that might have a restorable or working chassis for a Philco 95 highboy radio. Friend of mine has one and the transformer is cooked....

Any one coming from, or driving through, the New Haven CT area that would have space for a 12" table top?

I have a spare bubble magnifier but I'm in California and won't be bringing it on the airplane. If you still need one after the convention let me know.

Three more things I need

Two of which are knobs, as shown here. I'll buy them whether you'll be at ETF or not. One's for my son's Admiral 30A1 and the other is the fine tuning knob for this 1940s RCA channel knob....I need the one that goes underneath.

Lastly, if anyone has a chassis for an RCA 730TV1 or RCA 730TV2, I could use it. I'm rather frustrated with mine

Ohhhh Knobs, I didn't think about that .

I need some of the common RCA knobs. I need three of the inner knobs that RCA used on it's dual controls. You know the ones that are rectangular with a round bump out in the middle. I had two on my RCA 730TV1 that my daughter decided to liberate and one other set that was missing one of them. I also need one of the "pinch" style knobs from RCA that they used in the late 30's.

As mentioned in another thread, friends of mine have a lot of 70s/80s video equipment (among other things), plus I have lots of items for sale/give away. If anyone can shuffle things from MD to OH, let me know. I'd love to get to another convention but it's hard to justify the drive right now.

Impromptu trip! Wife wants to get out of town for the weekend so she wants to get to Lancaster PA . I'll be meeting up with Dave tomorrow at some point and heading back out from Lancaster Sunday morning.

That 5 I have is so untouched that I almost don't want to touch it! Recently took an offer I couldn't resist that came out of the blue on my RCA CTC-68 twins, so space I have.....I'll decide later which one would get the tube. Or maybe I'll just find another. I do know where there is a NOS CYP

They're around. Through talking to a TV buddy I know someone else that has one sitting in their laundry room. Talking them out of them? Well, that's the hard part....

SOLD Update!! The Philco 51-T1601 is fixed. Found a wire from the vertical osc block transformer that was soldered to the wrong terminal strip lug. Damn human error!!!! See pic and video link below. For Sale!!! Make me an offer and I will bring it to ETF convention in a few weeks to hand it off. PM me if interested in this set or anything else on my list earlier in this post.

Thx!!!
