I'd love to find a nice 7 inch one to restore. Carrying mine from the car to the basement was a workout, that guy is heavy!

Those are some sweet sets! Btw where would I find schematics and caps?

Look up the sam's number on their site, then look for a place that sells the originals cheaper.....If you restore radios how do you not have a source of caps? (most values TVs use were also in radios)...Tube radios need recaps too, and if you've never recapped a radio you should before you go after a TV.

It's been years since I've done a radio recap. I've forgotten where I used to buy the caps. I'll do a search and maybe something will spark my memory.

Digikey, Mouser, and Allied are good places. There is also Just radios, capacitor world, and bob's http://www.radioantiques.com/supplies.html which cater to the collector market....Probably more places out there too.

The Sams you need is set 92 folder 3. I have an extra that is yours for postage. PM your address to me.

Halicrafters 14-808
 

I have the leatherette 14-808 working that needs a home. I have had the set for about 15 years...never had it out of the cabinet. I have to assume it was recapped before I got it. The picture tube has a brightner on it but it has a nice picture that can be watched for hours. All the correct knobs except the tv/phono knob on the left are missing.

Then start an ad in the classifieds!

I have seen Electro 44 set and it does play well.
