I think, if im not mistaken, these CRTs were from other places with an RCA label slapped on them, its not a bad tube, but doesn't look as good as a Sylvania re-85, which,i think, look the best. As for the stereo, I put new caps in, looked promising at one point, had some sound,now back to low output on both channels. Some germanium transistors in there so it will be a bit of a project. Problem is I order parts as I need them so when something else goes wrong I am stuck til the new parts arrive.

Update on this French Provincial
 

Hi all, took alittle sabbatical from VK, just wanted to update this set I picked up a couple of months ago. The pictures I took today don't really do it justice, it came out real nice, replaced a vdr in the vertical, acouple power supply caps and after I re-installed it the horizontal centering pot started smoking, put a new one in, thanks Dave, and also replaced the on/off pot, alittle tricky on a combo because of a speaker switch. The end result was this. The stereo seems to have gotten alot of use in its lifetime, I replaced all of the electrolytics in it except for two 10mfd coupling caps that ended up being the problem, some kind of Murphys law, now I am going to build a den/library in my basement so I can justify another TV in the house. Cheers, thanks to the guys that were helpful and encouraging here, Bruce

looking good :thmbsp:

Really happy for your find! Pics look great, and the amp looks rather simple, and easy to work on, but with decent power output. :thmbsp:
All the best with it!!
