Hello,
I have both a 24" and a 27" TV sets from 1957 and 1954, I assure you that they are huge, to say the least.
I accidentally broke the neck on the 27" (at least it was on it's last leg about emission!), but it was very hard to find a replacement, it took me about a year and half, until a good friend of mine found on the we-all-know-the-auction-site-I'm-referring-about another 27" set with a good CRT, but a very rusty chassis and a damaged cabinet, so I felt not too bad parting it. Just for reference, the 27RP4 I found measure 800 on a 1000 scale on my B&K 465 (or 467??), so I would expect a good image once the chassis is freed from all the problems it has at the moment.
Just for reference, my 27" is quite particular, especially here in Italy, having 2 Hor output tubes (6AV5, at the moment I' using 6BQ6's as I haven't spare 6AV5's, I have to find some new Sylvania with the "elliptical" plate, as I like them much more than the newer ones) and 2 dampers (6W4), naturally it also has the twin 5U4G rectifiers on the power supply chassis and a wired remote control. It weights 95Kg
Sorry for the long post and probably for the hijack of this thread
Cheers
Giulio Maiocco
