Awesome red/white GE 14T009

These things must have sold well in Texas. I've got two reds and an aqua green. Logos on the front seem rather fragile as I only have one that's completely intact and need to make duplicates in epoxy someday.

Earlier, i was looking thru the wants list in the classified section... then went out in the shop to see if I could find a knob someone was looking for. None of my parts are organized at this time, so I really have to dig around when I'm looking for something.

I picked up a box of knobs, and found this behind the box.... another 14T009 just like the one I brought home the other day. However, this one is in poor condition.

Bad thing is, I had no idea it was there. I don't remember putting it there, and really have no clue as to where I got it! The shelf it was on has only been there for a couple of years, so the set couldn't have been there for too long.

Oh well... it was a good discovery anyway... if it turns out i need a part to fix the one I brought home the other day, at least now I know I have a parts set! I'll have to see if the CRT is any good. Typically, I always check the tube on any set I bring home... whether it's a candidate for resto or not... but I just don't remember if I did already or not.

It's not a good sign when you can't remember what you have!!

This made me chuckle because it's the kind of thing that I would do. In my current project, I unearthed two pieces of test equipment that I had completely forgotten about. I was sitting around thinking, "Gosh, it would be really helpful now if I owned a such-and-such." Lo and behold, I already did!
