Looks like a RCA 621 or 721 like chassis but I am in WI, but interested.

I believe that is one off our own --Kaye-Halbert TV (Charles)

Buy it now - 75$ sounds like a good deal to me, but I have no idea how to use the e-bay. If somebody can give me instructions I would buy those sets in an instant. I've always hesitated to do e-bay because you never know what your're going to get, but I wouldn't have any hesitation buying from a member here.

Hey Charles, I believe I just bought these sets under the fake e-bay name of Enannatum- (he was an ancient Sumerian king, it was just the first thing that came to mind). I can come out to get them, or we can meet here, but I still have that Magnavox stuff you wanted. (actually I have yet to part the set they're on). Either way is fine but I'd like to get this Magnavox out of here. Thanks, that was really a great deal.

after posting that good tip any chance of getting the 721 like chassis?

"after posting that good tip any chance of getting the 721 like chassis?"

Ok, I think I sorted out what is there, if I'm correct there are 2 RCA chassis there, an RCA 630 on the bottom (chassis and cabinet- I can't tell if it has a crt or not though), and this 721-like chassis (lacking cabinet/crt) on top. If you just want that 721-like chassis we can work something out.

Adam, They're yours! Thank you for the purchase, and I hope you won't hold it against me for sticking you with all that junk ...eMail sent...

That's not a 721 chassis... It has 3 controls across the front of the chassis. Also has no audio output, just an RCA cable for audio to go to a radio HiFi chassis in a combo unit most likely. It's a KCS-27, if I recall. The 630 has a clean chassis, but no CRT & no glass. There are a couple 10BP4s included in the other chasses.

The 630 uses a 10BP4? If so, that's great, I already got a spare in my closet.

I just pulled out the sams, it says it uses a 10BP4. This set gets channel 1

[prewtv]

That makes it the 730, like a 721 but no audio.

Ok, now my front room is so full of sets I can't even get out the front door.

13 sets in all:

8 sets restoreable:

#1 the RCA 630TS -- chassis complete, but missing the front glass, clips, cabinet top, HV cage cover, knobs, and crt.

#2 Motorola, bakelite 17" rectangular, complete with chassis, crt, knobs, cabinet in good condition, glass is good, missing back

#3 Tele-Tone, bakelite 14" rectangular, has chassis, crt, nice cabinet, glass is good, no knobs, missing back, and HV cage, the base was removed from the crt, and some of the wires are broken off only about a 1/4" from where they exit the glass

#4 GE, wood 10" round, has chassis, crt, knobs, cabinet needs work, but salvagable, front glass cracked

#5 Halicrafters, wood 12" round, has chassis, crt, no knobs, cabinet needs serious work, the top board needs to be replaced, but the glass is good, it's missing the back, and the HV cage cover

#6 RCA T-100, metal 10" round, has chassis, crt, no knobs, cabinet itself is ok, but it's missing the cloth and the glass is cracked, missing back, and HV cage cover

#7 Motorola, wood, 8" round, electrostatic, has chassis, crt, cabinet is very poor, hole on right side, but at least the glass is good, missing all knobs but tuner, missing back

#8 Zenith, metal 19" rectangular (early 60s), has chassis, crt, knobs, cabinet is good

5 parts sets:

#9 Emerson 7" electrostatic, complete chassis and crt, but no cabinet, if the crt is good it will find a home in one of my Motorola ts-4j's

#10 RCA - 730 chassis only, complete chassis, no cabinet or crt

#11 Halicrafters 10" round, chassis and crt only, no cabinet, this is an old one, it has channel 1 on a pushbutton tuner, but it is really far gone, if the crt tests stronger than my spare 10BP4, it will go in the 630

#12 Motorola bakelite 14" rectangular, cabinet only - I don't know what I'm going to do with this

#13 Motorola, wood, 8" round, electrostatic, cabinet only, with good glass, but missing bottom, in poor condition but better than the other one, will probably use it to repair the other 8" Motorola cabinet, or take the bottom out of the other one and put it in this one along with the rest of the set, or some such thing

These are really interesting sets. This is enough to keep me busy for at least a year, probably more.

prewtv,
Do you still want that 730 chassis?, I don't need it.

The Zenith still works , the fine tuning control is strangely ineffective though, but it's tuning the channels in right on anyway.
