Hey Bill
If you happen to end up with a spare back cover I could use it.

Bill,

Here are more shots of the other set. I does not have a back.

My grandma had an old RCA victor, that died in the 60's. Was a door model, but unlike most I've seen, it has a curved front to it, and full length doors. Never bothered to get the model #, though ISTR that the sticker said a 16GP4 was the CRT. The 'guts' were removed years ago and it was turned into a very nice bookcase, basically a few shelves were put in it.

Never saw one like it again. Oh well...

The time ticks on the clock, and my excitement grows......

Polaraman, just wondering, also, what happenned to your other pictures? I can't find any of them. You sent me a message about extra ones for set you are giving me, and of other tv's. I couldn't find them. Sorry.

T minus one month, and counting.........

:yes: :thmbsp:

Well, in just a few weeks I'll have my long sought after family tv again. Thanks to Polaraman, of course. I'm devising ways to improve the physical condition of cabinetl

In process of making room for it now...

:tears: Polaraman just gave the bad news. He's been called to duty for the next three weeks, so I won't be seeing my tv for some time. Not his fault, but, it sucks. I hate the army!!

I'm very dissappointd. Godd luck Polaraman. Hope you still make it this year...... :tears:

I will see you and John the second weekend in September. You now have some more time to polish up the collection before I get there. Have you figured out where you are going to put this TV? :D

As usual with the Army, you can't plan a single thing. They control me and my paycheck. Sometimes it is great and then there are times that are bad. Having to work three out of five weekends stinks! It could be worse and I could be in Iraq or Afghanistan. Only 19 months to go till I hit 20 years. Retirement is around the corner and I can't wait.


SFC Polaraman

I know how you feel. This is one of those more often times the army stinks. It ruins both our plans. I know where I'm hoping to put it near the front door in the living room.The other I'll bring in to swap parts, best doors, etc.... I suspect after cleaning, your doors will be in better shape than mine. I have another kcs 47 that needs your speker, and the red button for cabinet power light.

Actually, right now, the place is a little worse. I just took in a major repair for someone, a wreck of an 11 tube 1941 Philco radio with a ton of rotted rubber wiring. It is am, early fm, and one sw band. Nice upright cabinet with a pull up door to cover control panel. Knobs are four large thumb wheels. Anyone got a schematic for this? A tube chart? Help!!!!!!

Bill :sigh:

I also had to delay my Texas trip. I made some plans with peverett and Charlie. Hope to be leaving this Saturday for Texas. Charlie and I are planning another TV shop raid. It might be the last time before the TV shop is torn down. The building was condemmed after the hurricane. Hopefully the bulldozer does not get there before we do.

Look out for toyz for me, will ea? Thanks. Have a safe trip. Bill

It's been some time, now, and I hope our friend is o.k. Looking at our notes, he was going to a condemed tv repair shop in Texas. I hope he hasn't gotten hurt. He;s generally good at getting back at me, but, he hasn't replied to any of my calls, and, e mails, so, I'm concerned about him.

As far as getting ready, I now have a good place ready for sets in my living room. John Folsom is also looking forward to meeting him. I also found an antique dealer with a large warehouse who claims to have manny tube type antique tv's and radios he wants to get rid of. Prices I don't know, yet, but, sounds interesting. I'd like Polaraman and myself to gou out there, and nose around.

Polaraman, whereever you are, I surely hope you are o.k. You all call me, now, ya heah?

I'm on a public library computer. I will not be back home till the 25th. I do not have a laptop that I travel with.

TV shop raid was successful. It is not going to be around much longer.

Thank God for All Our Men and Woman Doing a fine Job in the Military Here and Over seas. GOD BLESS AMERICA. \

THank You Polarman
William

Amen Radioman56, and I look forward to a visit from Polaraman if he can work it into his itinerary. Told you so, Bill.

:drool: Me to myself. "Slap" O.K. I worry too much for my friends. Anyway, glad you had a successful shop raid. I've had a couple good successes myself. And, I second Bill's comment to our Gallant men, and women overseas. Gotta go. Bye. late....
