Got me some "Barn fresh" sets today.
Collector friend sent me a message that he was moving and had some stuff to give me if I wanted it, free is always good so of course I said yes.
Here's the haul. 630TS chassis, full of tubes and in reasonably good condition. Blond 49 Hoffman 10" rough, missing the knobs and back and the CRT is weak but would work well with a brightener. 1956 RCA 21" metal tabletop set, paint is rough but the set is complete and the chassis is very clean. CRT is very tired, got decent emissions out of it after cooking but cutoff was lousy. I like it though so if I can find a good CRT I'd like to restore it someday. 1953 Zenith metal table set (not shown), complete rusted wreck but it had a decent 21YP4 CRT that I saved, along with the tubes and knobs, the cabinet hit the dumpster, the chassis will go to e-cycle. And the creme de la creme of the bunch, a Philco 48-2500, complete except for the back and the keystoned shape piece of glass under the screen (which I have a spare of) , it's incredibly dirty from being in (literally) a barn for who knows how long but on closer inspection looks to be in pretty decent condition, maybe even better than the Blond version I've been doodling with for the last three years. much of what looks like scratches in the picture is actually spider webs and trash stuck to it. |
