It's hard to see in the photo but there's a faintly visible label that says
1805P4 on the neck. The key is broken off the base, but it still has a
nice, shiny getter!!! Date code is 2-43 indicating that it's a replacement.
Stay tuned... |
I don't believe the number "2-43" is a date code. My 1F5 has the same metal based CRT with the number "8 43" no dash, stamped on the base. The set has never been tampered with, no tubes changed (they all have correct RCA date code XE3, May-June 1940), 2 channel tuner, and not upgraded to the new standards.
I believe Dave's CRT is original to his set. Any thoughts or comments?
