We're in upstate NY this weekend. The three Zenith roundie sets I mentioned before turned out to be in pretty rough cosmetic condition, but complete. I bought them despite that the faux finishes were in worse shape than I had hoped, though. All three sets' CRTs are apparently still under vacuum, so some potentially usable bottles are always good to have, cabinets are structurally sound despite the worn finishes, and the sets will at least make good parts donors. Also among the score were two TIC model 1200A "Wobbulator" production-line Sweep/Marker generators, excellent for aligning Mallory Inductuners as used in Dumont B/W sets. Pushbutton presets for all channels and markers make them a snap to use, after I find time and documentation to get them recapped and calibrated. Also among the items I scored was a good used 21GVP22 "pull" CRT. The best item of this score, though (drumroll please) was a NOS/NIB Philco 21FJP22A!!! That alone was worth the price of the lot and the five-hour drive for pickup!
More info and pics later.
