New Acquisition - Dumont RA-109A Sherbrooke Combo

[hi_volt]

Well....another new set waiting till I retire to get restored. A couple of years ago, I sold my Dumont 19" console to another collector here in Tucson, and have wanted another one ever since. An opportunity came up last week, so I decided to get it, even if I don't really have the room. It is an RA-109A Sherbrooke console in mahogany. The finish is all original and is in pretty good shape. The speaker cloth is perfect. The chassis has about a half inch of dust, but otherwise looks clean, unmolested and complete. It has all of the original documentation and manuals that came with the set when it was new. The 19AP4 is an RCA, probably original to the set, and has terrible emissions. I'm letting it cook for a couple of hours at a filament voltage of about 7V. I'll be cleaning this one up in the next week or so and bringing it into the house to await restoration, and then I'll get back to working on my Zenith color roundie combo.
