RCA 630TS scored

[mpatoray]

Always liked the 630's, great sets and cool score. Make my GE 800C I just got look cheap and crappy.

Is that cad plating that has oxidized on that chassis or something else?

Great score. The 630TS set the bar for early TV design, in some ways.

Love those goodie boxes. I have used a little Weller gun like that almost daily for about 100 years.

That greeny stuff looks more like household cooking grease and/or tobacco grime to me. You wouldn't find cadmium on aluminum IF cans and electrolytic cans.

That looks more like the 'bigger' (dual heat, dual headlight) gun. I also had a 'little' (single heat, single headlight) Weller that i used for 100 years. Acquired in trade with another kid for a McCoy .29 model plane engine.

The older Weller soldering guns are the only ones I like. The new ones have the aluminum barrels and set screws to hold the tips.
I buy them, whenever I see them at garage sales, ETC.
