RCA T-100 info

jeyurkon, I have an extra mixmaster out in the shed. (got a whole collection) I could set you right up...

Man, that house is a disaster! But actually it looks a lot like the last estate sale I went to. Hard to sell much that way.

I think even if they cut prices in half I'd have to think hard before shelling out the money. The T-100 is pretty attractive to me but sounds like that one will need plenty of work; who knows about the crt.

Meanwhile, my free Sony from the garbage pile doesn't look too bad. Here's Obama on Face the Nation. They threw it out because it needs new caps in the vertical & horizontal. I just let the rain dry out overnight, didn't even brush off the pine needles.

To me, this is more fun than buying a set that someone else has already restored

Looks like my place

Plus, a model 9T246 shares that same cabinet style but with the KCS28(C) chassis. The only real way to tell of course is the label on the rear of the chassis.

'Fraid I'll have to keep my new $40 TV, torn cloth and all.

I made a deal with my better self. Dude, you can buy it if you promise to set it aside until you finish recapping that CTC-11.

Coupla missing tubes, coupla replacement caps underneath, nothing too scary. A mouse peed by the power xfmr but he was not a repeat offender. No, I will not just find a couple of replacement tubes and my variac . . . I will not, not, not!

I talked to the house owner, who was a child when the family bought the place in 1950. This TV dates from then. The back was with a pile of papers in the basement. Also the program from this guy's high school commencement. I guess he has kind of lost interest in the material world.

Despite the mess inside, it's a cool house in a desirable Seattle neighborhood near waterfront. Two blocks away is a little place for sale at $1 million; that lot has about the same square footage as my house.

Chassis KCS38. Anyone willing to scan a schematic? I promised not to work on it, but reading doesn't count
