Update on my RCA Victor 6T74

[Bill Cahill]

Well, a fellow friend of mine from ARF, Huggy, by name, was in Florida, and, helped me find the last few seeablle bugs in it, an, repair them..
I hope to try set today.
Now, I want to show you the pictures of my finnished work on the cabinet. Give me a bit of time, as it will be slow getting them from my photobucket album.

I finnished repairing, and, re finnishing the top molding, touched up top,and, cleaned, and, waxed it.
Note some of my favorite memories from my childhood on top. My mother's original table lamp, record rack, and, several of my favorite children's records.
Oops. Wrong picture. That was during repairs.
Now, here's the right picture.

Now, here is a view of the entire front of case. Note I have touched up spots where finnish flaked off, and, polished, and, lacquered the door hardware.

And, now, here's a view of inside front of case.
I cleaned, polished, touched up with lacquer, took entire assembly apart, cleaned it, replaced dead picture tube, and, put the corect color of gold guilding paint on RCA Victor emblem on control panel. There was none left.

I created this computer made sheet. I have my signature showing my pride in workmanship on set, next, a bit about a damper tube change, and, finally, a warning label replacement for inside the hv cage, and, that it requires a .25A 250 V. Slo-blo fuse.

Here is a partial view of the finished clean up, restoration work on chassis.

And, here is the other half of chassis. Note my labels. I replaced incorectly painted cage with corect color black paint hv cage.

Note the set playing on the bench at John Folsom's house. He helped in this project.
He got it playing. UPS dammaged set in shipping.
Then, the flyback failed. I have that replaced.
