I have a 7" Bakelite admiral with the chinese grille that is broken out around the chassis bolts near the back on the bottom. Not sure which way to go with this one since I don't have the missing pieces.

INCREDIBLE!!!! Congratulations!!!! Thanks for sharing the photos! I'm sure stories of this find will be retold for generations.

It's a shame that a guy leaves all that stuff behind with no "plan". Just think what good he could have done by donating that stuff to the TV history museum. The money could easily have finished their CRT rebuild room.

i have a checkerboard admiral but could use the fine tuning and channel knob , do you have a picture of this Chinese damaged set ? curious to what the damage looks like.

I should feel like Alice in wonderland!°
I check if I could use some ortikons as far you like to sell them.
I checked one of mine and it is called "8093E"
Have to say, that I am not familar with them.
Will check more out.

Do you saw this:
-Motorola VT73 / 7" portable: floor panel and back
-Admiral bakelit 7": back
-7" crt hose (shield against x-rays)
-knobs (channel selector and one of the front knobs) for Westinghouse H 196
-top antenna adjuster knob for Zenith porthole

It will be great if you could help me out!

I am sure that this will be one of the best days of your life to trump around
on this yard with all the TVs!

I picked up the last few CRTs and a couple of 'hidden' TV sets from the storage unit this morning. Found another Alligator skin Raytheon portable which is missing all the knobs and fabric is ripped on one side, a Silvertone 12" pushbutton set, a Crosley 10" with the continuous tuner on the left hand side. Best CRTs were in the last load, too! NOS Dumont 12QP4 Teletron, a 10FP4, and a couple more 7JP4s and 10BP4s.

Now comes the long sorting and cataloging process.

Just looked at it again and it's better than I remembered it. It's cracked from the rear chassis bolt holes forward, not extending to the side and no missing pieces. I can definitely fix that.

Don't have any of those parts except for the 7JP4 x ray shield. You can have it for the postage.
