Saved! 58 GE

[newhallone]

The Ge I saved is a 1958 21C1562. I posted an ad in the local Freecycle for old tv sets 1960 back. The lady I got it from was going to put it on display in the house but her husband put the ax to that. It was in the house when she got it. She tried it and got nothing but sound. She said if I wouldn't have saved it she would probably have brought it to the dump.

I put my Beltron on it and I did not get any reading whatsoever. Filaments lit up but that's it. I used the universal adapter for it. Anyone know what the correct adapter for these is with the 8080?

The crt for this set is the 21DEP4.

I received another email from a guy with a couple of sets I need to check out. So I am doing what I can.

Now that its warm where I stored a couple sets I went and tested them as well. my mid 50's Zenith 19" tested really good, but the cabinet is really bad and a mouse nest in the Chassis. The 1960 Motorola 23" wasn't the greatest after the cleaning so I rejuvinated it and now it reads really good. According to the Beltron instructions it says it's supposed to jump up to 85 all it did for me was 50 or so. Is that normal? Hope you enjoy the pics.
