Hi, I wanted to Start off By saying Thank you to Kamakiri as most of my sets came from him! I would have probably never been able to find much if he did not help me. Also Consoleguy67 for the RCA portable I got a few years ago. This Thread is about my new finds and a little back history on the sets I Already have.
12in Zenith I got off ebay I seen shango066 had one but in really bad shape but I liked the style I ended up paying $127 For it witch was alittle steep but worth it! Works ok but has lots of static no matter what I do it will not go away maybe a bad tube or cap? Will have to look into it further Later. 19in (Maybe 17in Not sure) Zenith table set this is my "Everyday" set and it gets watched every day works very good! Although will need new filter caps someday. Next is my Zenith console It's a very good performer and works great this is also my "Everyday" set and I Love it!. Next is my RCA Console which is quite possibly my favorite set, When I first got it the CRT Seemed a Little weak but after using it for a bit it woke up pretty good its a hi hour set but still a good performer! Next is My first Tube set that's been with me for sometime now it's a 1961 RCA "Sportabout" It's what started the whole thing with vintage tv's works good as of a few months ago have not used it recently ![]() After that is also a RCA "Sportabout" I was lucky Enough to find on Craigslist also sometime ago don't remember if I tried it or not so waiting for my variac to come in from ebay to power it up!. Next I'll be driving a hour and a half to pick up a table top admiral with its's cart for $30 Seller says he thinks it "Works" but unless they have it on when I get there i'll wait for my variac to come in to power it up I will post pics tomorrow once I get it! Also I got a new better job so I ordered a 20AMP Variac,Sencore CR -168,soldering iron,Drake VM2410A VHF Video Modulator,Superior Instruments Rapid Tube Tester Model 82A All off ebay and am waiting for it to come in, I also won a total of around 500 tubes for a good deal I'll end up testing every tube! I'll keep updating This Thread when I get new sets! Here's a few video's of my sets!They are Playing Youtube off the Xbox 360 Also when the VHF Modulator come's in I plan on using them all at the same time I only have 3 outputs now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNhftNLO0jo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN_J1tTkY6k 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg 5.jpg 6.jpg |

That's an nice bunch of sets there. The 19" Zenith looks like one I gave TVtim down my way that has the series wired 14Z33 chassis dated 8-68.
What model or chassis number is yours?
