This set's waiting for me to line up a yoke for it. I was going to borrow the yoke from my 8TS30 that's on the bench almost done, but my son's too interested in playing PS3 this weekend to work on it

The Dumont, after all that work and finding the unobtanium dead flyback, I decided I was done. Done, over, had it, no more, disgusted, done, over with. My friend Al needs a lot of parts for his RA-108 and there's plenty of spare parts for his doghouse, so it got parted out down to every last screw and nut, and the parts are going to him. I re-purposed the cabinet masterfully into a large stand for my Zenith roundie color by sectioning out the center where the screen mask was, then reattaching the top. For some reason I always hated the Sputnik legs, and the way it's sitting now atop a perfectly sized 2 foot tall pedestal, I'm in absolute love with it. Saved the sputnik legs, of course....

Sometimes....ya just gotta.
