Here's more news about my collection. I just acquired another Channel 1 set (a Fada 899) which is on its way from RI. This set is a little rough, but it's essentially complete except for one knob. Unfortunately, some unexpected car repairs since winning that auction have forced me to list my Crosley 9-408 a few months before I had planned to sell it. I'm almost finished with the restoration of my Fada TV30, though (new Width coil is on the way, repro hv cage under construction, repro back is here). I expect to have the TV30 working next week. My RCA 630TS will likely be my next project, followed by my Fada 899 and Fada 799. I'll be buying another box of assorted knobs for $20 from a local tv repair shop next week. As much as I hate to sell these sets from a collector's standpoint, I really love being able to make a living by restoring vintage tv sets.
