9T246

Chuck:
Impressive looking 9T246 restoration! Your photo reminded me of one I saw in Alsip Il, outside Chicago, about 3 years ago. I had dropped in on a supplier I use to pick up an order I was in a hurry for (600 mile drive in one day - ouch!) and of course asked if they knew of anybody that might have old TV's. I was given directions to an OLD repair store nearby, ran over and discovered a 9T246 in the window. Turns out they have had it since it was NEW, always in the window, always kept working, and presently left on at night using a timer! Man, this thing looked terrible, all faded, cloth sun rotted and hanging, but it worked a treat! I'd like to see a modern set survive that long in that environment, even with TLC!
