Hello everybody !
sorry for my poor english !
I read your post I'm also of that horrible frog ebayers
.I bought to harry a rca ct9 few month ago and another frog bought an old color tv and this time Jean françois a french collector who have in a charge a museum.
We don't want to deprive to you of your television sets.I'm not rich person for my part to earn this ct9 purchase costs me my holidays.
when a television set of collection is bought to us(like etf museum) I am for my part rather glad to know this saved television set.
You welcome if you are interrested by old 819lines television set problem is to come in France to visit me but it's will be with pleasure.Actually finding old 441lines television in france need to be a rockfeller
For the ct9 I'm actually try to restore it.It's just difficult to find some valves in france like the 6dq5.
sincerely as all
wilfrid
