Can anyone ID this TV?

A local CL ad: http://knoxville.craigslist.org/atq/2458155009.html

Thanks in advance!

I can't believe this is still available. $100 seems like a steal to me for these three items. In my area the talking machine would sell for $350 at least.

Cool set! It's a Firestone 13-G-4. I found it in Riders vol 3.
Here's the schematic. I like how they depict the 1N34 (V8) as a vacuum tube.

Thanks for the schematic Bob!

If it's still there next weekend, I'm gettin it! (hopefully Sandy G won't find it) It's in Rockwood, about 40- 50 miles away, and I work 2nd shift so I can't go in the evenings.

Either of the Edison players is easily worth the price, especially the cylinder player. Go grab them. TV is nice too!

Ah yes, looking at the picture of the TV and then the tech papers one can see that the screen mask is missing on the set.. you'll bust a nut trying to find one of those.
Unless someone just happens to have one.

Yea, I noticed that too. Maybe the local Firestone has a new one in stock? It might look better without it.

It does use a common 10BP4 so maybe a mask from another brand of tv could be adapted? I like the double-d or porthole look anyway!

It also appears to be missing the channel ring on the tuning knob.
