1950 Zenith

[John Marinello]

"All tubes and parts are in tacked."
They must have been loose?

"The lead on outside of CRT has mostly fallen off."
I hope he means the anode lead, and not the heavy metal stuff.

That was, once, a "Claridge"- I think-, like what I'd like to have...As Dr Smith used to say, "Oh, the pain, the pain..."

I'm sure he thinks the aquadag is heavy metal lead.

Perhaps the confusion arises because there is graphite in the Aquadag coating and also in pencil lead - but the pencil "lead" does not contain lead. Pencil lead is a mixture of graphite and clay.
