A working RCA 6T87

Hi Matt,

I have an RCA 6T87 just like yours, and while searching for information about it online I found your posting. It was the top link on Google when I searched for "RCA 6T87".

I'll attach some pictures, and you will see that it is in working condition. The previous owner restores tv's, and he rescued this one from the curb where it was awaiting trash pickup. To get it working he replaced capacitors, resistors, a few tubes, both record player cartridges, and the picture tube.

The sound quality from the radio and record players is very good with the 12" speaker providing a good amount of bass. I have a DVD player hooked up to the tv now, and while the volume is lower as compared to radio and records the picture is great. I'm wondering if some kind of pre-amp could be installed inline between the DVD player and the rf modulator. We'll see...

Thank you for posting pictures of your set, and I hope you decide to restore it.


Happy Holidays,
Dan
