Santa arrived early in Jamesburg, NJ. I made the 500 mile round trip to Virginia on Saturday to pick up the RCA 9PC41 projection TV.
It turned out to be a beautiful day weatherwise and well worth the trip. The set is almost in mint condition as you can see by the attached photographs. There's virtually no cabinet work that needs to be done.
As for the electronics the thought of 40 tubes and 4 sizeable chassis is kind of daunting, but I intend to go through it slowly and methodically.
The only down side is the fact that apparently at some time in it's life someone decided to eliminate the remote brightness/contrast control and simply cut the wire coming out of the back of the set. If I can't find a replacement, I'm hoping the set will work without it.
I'm kind a anxious to see just what's in the mysterious looking tank at the bottom of the cabinet.
This should be a lot of fun....I'll keep you all posted.
