Here's my list...
Black and White:
ANDREA 16" round metal cone CRT with FM radio. Purchased at the ETF swapmeet earlier this year. Restoration will be underway if I ever get time to get caps.
RCA 14" portable. Identical to one on Eric H's site, but has UHF. It will be restored eventually and rewired to solve the hot chassis problem. I need the correct SAMS for this. I have the version of the SAMS that used a transformer instead of AC/DC.
Sylvania 17" metal portable. Will be restored and rewired to fix hot chassis problem.
Stewart-Warner 12" round. Not at my current location, but will get here and be recapped. It had a fairly muddy picture last time I had it on.
Zenith 21" Late 50's metal table model. Works well, but will get a recap.
ROUND COLOR: All use the 21FJP22.
RCA CTC-16. Would have been totally recapped if I weren't laid off at the time. Need a CRT socket for this since somebody did a "Mickey Mouse" fix on the focus lead (wrapped it on pin 9 on the CRT... totally unacceptable). I did fix some other previous "repairs"). CRT is the original RCA with no cataracts.
Zenith 25MC32 (need to verify chassis number. The set is in Warren). Works like a charm. Replaced all filters and bad mylar caps in the vertical. A full recap wouldn't hurt.
Sylvania D-01. Worked last time I had it on. Will get a full recap eventually.
SILVERTONE TV,AM/FM, TURNTABLE combo. Works, but a full recap is in order. The filters are leaky and I think the voltage doubler needs to retire. The CRT was replaced (I still have the old one, it will get rebuilt eventually). The radio worked as found. The turntable is toast. Someone tried to fix it and screwed it up even more. The inrush limiter for the degauss was crumbled and the voltage dependent resistor is toast. The degausser is bypassed for now (I know...DUMB.)
OTHER:
RCA CTC-38. Found about a week before I relocated. CRT prognosis is uncertain. I have not tried the set yet. This one I have may have been one of the first to use the modern RCA logo.
I also have two of Zenith's first solid state sets. These are the ones where if the safety caps open, the HV triples and burns the neck off the CRT. Both have color problems which I haven't looked at yet.
RCA XL-100. Had a nice picture until the vertical crapped out. Something was smoking, but I don't have the right print for it. It will eventually be fixed.
RCA COLOR TUBE PORTABLE. 17 inch. This is similar to one mentioned in another thread where all caps and resistors (in the sweep section) had to be replaced. The CRT isn't great, but could look good with a proper restoration.
I'm always looking, but with my luck, one of my nosy neighbors might report me to the rental office, saying I'm running a repair shop out of my apartment. I'll eventually help fill the gallery.
