Got three table color sets and a tube A/V RF modulator (that will be a fun project!).

Can't wait to see your posts on all of them!

Guess I'll get the ball rolling then.
Here is what I got.


Top Down: Tube video modulator (untested), Zenith's first 13" color (produces monochrome video), Packard bell-Teledyne badged GE (with a bad CRT ), and a remote color Magnavox (missing handset, remote chassis needs work, and the HV reg seems to be drawing too much current, but otherwise works good).

I'm just about done restoring a 24" RCA for a local family....Sometime this week I plan to try to fix them all (if the PB can't make a decent picture it's likely going to get sold or parted).

Here are some more pictures.

Interesting modulator. Hope you can find the schematic and specifications on it.

Looks like those TVs had some rough storage, and the one looks like it was used to mow the lawn!

Google tells me nothing about the modulator or it's maker, and I doubt Sam's has any info....Turns out is it a video only modulator. Only things likely to be bad in it are 4 lytics, two tubular caps, and 2 seleniums.


That Zenith was stored in RCA2000's shed apparently....I don't know if that is how it got rusty or if that is how he got it, but if it had been stored better it would be a minty low hours set....It still seems to have all Zenith yellow label tubes in it. The grass I don't mind, but I did have a problem with the 50-cent-piece sized garden spider that came running out during the test power up I gave it. I apparently have a spare CRT for the Zenith (though I likely won't need it).
