Beats me, but considering that it's not the ubiquitous RCA, even I must say nice save although it's not from my preferred era.

I think more people are getting tired of RCA.. It's nice to see other sets than the typical RCA for a change.. I like color roundie sets from the late 50s to mid 60s era the best..
He may be referring to the pic tube..

The condition of the picture tube is anyone's guess. I'd say that the lack of a cataract is a good sign.
My '78 XL-100 is an exception to my rule. Plain but I really like it and it's in excellent condition, nearly mint. |

Well I spoke to the seller, which is a lady.. I asked her about the history and she said her parents bought it new.. I asked her if it still worked or if she had tried it, and she said she didn't know, it was the down stairs TV, while they had gotten a newer one for upstairs.. I asked her when they stopped using it, and she guessed around 20 years ago, that would be around the early 90s, I said they probably stopped using it probably longer than 20 years ago.. More like the 70s or early 80s, and she seemed to agree.. So it's coming from the original owner, and looks like it may have been well used, which could be a good or bad thing.. Good if the tube is a newer rebuild, and if the fly is still good, or been replaced..

Sams 826 Folder 1 or Sams 843 - little difference, mostly model differences (knobs, etc). CA or CB Chassis.

FYI, that chassis uses the "ET" prefix for all the parts. GE later abandoned that prefix, and assigned the parts as "ES" parts. The part number changed completely, adding a lot of confusion. An ET36X601 is not the same as an ES36X601 - instead it would be assigned a completely different ES36X number. Real pain, especially with knobs, and GE updated their service lit only - Sams listed only the original ET designation.
Prefixes: EU - Utica ET - Utica ? ES - Syracuse EP - Portsmouth (last GE production in US) EA - Audio products EW - Offshore (HK, Taiwan, Korea) ET and EU preceded ES, and all preceded EP. REAL confusing.... Cheers,

Ouch.. Thanks for the info.. Anyone know the flyback part number or substitutes for this? I'm going to look for a spare to have on hand.. Thanks..

Sams lists the part number as an ET77X79, with a Triad D-304 as a replacement. Same flyback as a CTC-15, Fly-277/RCA 113382 are the same. That's the nice thing about this set - it's an RCA clone, and the sweep stuff is the same - vert tranny, focus coil, all the same. Downside is the growing rarity of NOS parts, especially flybacks. I just sold my last CTC-15 fly to Kamakiri - Tim needed it for a set.
Cheers,

Thanks for all the info.. I guess flybacks for roundie sets are harder to come by than roundie tubes..

I found a place that had 3 in stock.. If you put in Thordarson FLY277 into google, it will be the first result from http://www.electronicsurplus.com.. They removed the order page, they had three NOS ones for $25 each and I bought all three..
