Got a TV with lingering issues ?

Answer: trade it to another VK'er for one of thiers !

I have moved along a few sets I did not quite take to the finish line by trading them for similarly impaired sets from other members.
I'm not suggesting we crap swap with our tough dogs here, no! Sets must be viable with a CRT good enough to produce a picture in a LIT room.

Far from dumping junk, we only want to help each other downsize and the best way is to change the depressing scenery in our shop areas is by trading.

Got a set you put time into with something still wrong, but you are DONE working on? PM me if you want MY list, provided we are willing to meet/travel.

For a '58 Sylvania-built RCA 17S090 that a member recapped, that wouldn't power up, I traded him a Motorola VT-71 with a good CRT but lots of
experimenter "mods" I was not ready to deal with, being a novice in the earliest TV department.

I was able to quickly see the issue in the power supply of that series string cheap Sylvania, having brought many similar sets back from the dead.

The VK'er who got my Motorola VT-71 (TS-4G) wasted no time recapping and restoring the set to operation.

That's a great deal, win-win and now there are two working TV sets ready to rehome!
