Looking for 1949 Sylvania set

[bgadow]

Yep, found them! The 2 models share a service manual-photos of both are on the cover. The date on the front page is 10-14-49. If you need info from it or would like to borrow it, let me know. I could try to do some scans, but the way the binder was put together it would be a real pain to seperate that one manual out. Probably some service updates in there for those sets, as well.

Any particular reason for this exact set? Sentimental reasons?

It's stricly sentimental reasons. Things that can't really be explained. Maybe it was from watching Howdy Doody, Disney, Eisenhower running for office, The Thin Man, Topper, Superman... Listening to classical music before I knew that's what it was. Oh, one shouldn't forget Captain Video...

Even when we had a color set I liked the Sylvania the best.

Strange coincidences. Whenever I tune in to WKAR-FM, our public station here. I always get silence. I turn up the volume and then boom, I find it was just a pause between segments. The same thing always happened with the Sylvania. I'd turn it on and there would be a Quaker Oats commercial.

I'd love to borrow it. I have a Sams for it but I'd like to compare them. I'd pay for shipping/postage.

I'm not sure why I want to know this since I don't have a 1-128, but control B4 in the HV section is a trimmer capacitor. The Sam's doesn't indicate its value. Do they show that?

The schematic is nicely drawn, easy to read. I wasn't sure about that particular trimmer-as usual, Sams labels things different than the factory did. (why did they have to do that?) I'll send you a PM about the manuals.
