estate sale find: 2-9-08
This is a rather unusual find. Found it yesterday at 404 Orion St, here in Batavia. Its probably the cheapest tube type TV ever made. Its a 16" 1973 General Electric model SF3206WD. Its a 4 tube chassis. Very small board. Probably the lightest TV in existance of its size. Only 2 IF stages and both amplified by one compactron tube. Still has a tube type sarkies tarzan VHF tuner. Even has instant on. and the CRT is even good! Must have never been plugged in. Set works pretty good too. Being such a cheap economy set, the picture is bright and clear but pretty soft. Looks like I was the first to take the back off. Its these cheap sets that never survive. I dont think Ive ever run across a GE portable b/w of this type before. Anyone know what a set like this would have sold for new? Still a USA made set with usa parts.
