New Project: DE6 from 1938

Wow! What a nice set. Chassis very clean and nicely laid out. That CRT is a bit of a Frankenstein monster, bolt in neck! :-) Will our friends at RACS be rebuilding the open filament CRT?

Thanks for posting the great photos!

Yes, thanks for the photos. That is really interesting.

What is the purpose of the wrapping on the CRT?

What a gorgeously engineered set! Such a clean layout. I especially like the construction of the gun in the crt. I have never seen anything like that before. It's good to know that RACS can rebuild the crt as I'm confident you will get the set back to original and operational.

Eckhard might know differently, but the bag around the crt is the implosion protection. American sets from the time used a metal or cardboard implosion shield.
