Beauty is in the eye of the....

Went back to the guy I bought my Silvertone roundie from, to pick up some more test gear. Brought home a bunch of chassis from colour consoles, including admiral, zenith, rca, and I think another fleetwood.

Also got a B&K pattern generator with a missing photomultiplier tube, and this TV. It's a Canadian Admiral 19" B&W set - about half compactrons, and half 9 pin tubes. Works great, appears that it may even have DC restoration, or at very least great contrast and brightness - certainly the best B&W picture I've seen (which isn't too many!). Sound is a bit fuzzy, but I think my cable box just has a cheap RF modulator in it.

I'm still working on "appreciating" the cabinet style, and figuring out a use for it! I'm starting to think if I really clean it up, it might make a nice bedroom TV. Is it some sort of a milestone as a collector, when you realize that you no longer can justify a use for so many TV sets?
