GE 800 restoration

[decojoe67]

Nice example Bob. Obviously well taken care of. Rare to see the sticker on the back with the control markings. That always falls off.
Mine is the best performing vintage TV I ever had. Flawless. Unfortunately it has the typical small crack on the very top by one of the rivets that I properly fixed. It can hardly be seen.
I personally like the "locomotive" with the rounded-square screen. The double-D version just seems to not flow as well with the lines of the set.
Good luck with the resto!

Our man Bob doesn't need luck. With him it comes naturally.
It must've been quite a while since it was worked on the last time. I like the old type 25L6G. Looks like the glo-bar resistors are original.
I have a chassis for one of those. The vent ribs were all bashed in on the top of the cabinet and were gone. The CRT was replaced at one time and it wasn't very good anyway.

You should have been at the ETF this year they had a perfect empty bakelite cabinet that went cheap.

Was such a deal I was trying to think of an excuse to bid (spare cabinet for mine...Nah, mine is in really good shape)...If I had known you could use one I'd have bought it for you.
