Reece was nice enough to send me the text from the auction page-thanks!
So, $30 for each set. More than I'd be willing to pay for the whole pile, but what the heck, I'll buy one just so I can at least go over and check it out. About the only thing that I'd vaguely be interested in would be the matching RCA tv stand on top of that heap. If I don't see anything I especially like, $30 would be worth it to take a 10-12" set just for the kine and take the stand along with it. Last edited by leadlike; 10-07-2010 at 01:33 PM.

With CRT rebuilding unavailable unless/until the ETF project gets rolling, buying cheap TVs just in hopes of getting good CRTs makes some sense.

Just got off the phone from the seller, and it looks like we'll be meeting Sunday morning to check them out. He seems like a very nice guy-he is in the process of emptying out a warehouse, so the tvs have to go.

I just got back, but don't have time to make but a quick post-
before I forget, here are what the sets are-starting with the right row- the upside down tv on top is a Motorola w/ UHF -below that is a Zenith that has a necked picture tube -below that is a Firestone the next row is: that brown thing is a tv stand, but doesn't seem to match any that are piled there. below that is an RCA square tube set on the bottom is a late 40's Sylvania. the middle row: A Motorola (?) on top An Arvin A metal-cased Philco next to last row: A blonde Motorola 10-12'' A trashed Zenith Square tuber the final row: a motorola of some sort-it is laying face down, and I couldn't move it-probably a 10-12'' as it has an electrodynamic speaker I'm not sure of the last make on the final set in the pile. In back of the warehouse, he has a pretty nice Moto radio/tv/phono, but someone had robbed the 10" chassis out of it. there was also a minty 60's Sylvania B&W as well. Well, I've gotta run, but try to guess what set I picked out of that heap!

Thanks for the info. I'll guess the Sylvania.

The Sylvania referred to as a late '40s looks like it's the 1-245 model that uses the 1-139 chassis. It should be a 12" CRT. In the photo it looks like the speaker board is missing. The 1-139 chassis is essentially identical to my 1-108 chassis. I'm not sure what the differences are. It would have been made in 1949 or 1950.
While I'd be interested in the 1-245 if no one else is, it's the 1-128 that I would jump on if I found one. If someone gets the 1-245 I'd be happy to explain how to use a 12LP4 if the 12VP4 is bad. John

You can also see the mahogany paneling on the inside, through the front, which is a different color than the Philco. John
