walterbeers id like to inquire on the picture tube, even if i dont need it. i have a bunch of other spare parts from an identical set. i know next to nothing on how to fix these things. ill check around tomorrow when i have some time for a tv repair man. i found one out in hartford a few months back but he wanted 150 for a bench fee, and if he couldnt fix it he wanted an extra 50 plus the 150. mind you the set worked fine i just wanted it tuned up. talk about robbery! but, i will check again and tell how i make out.

if you were closer to me i'd help but i'm in NJ , my Olympic is also from CT where I lived years ago but got it when I was in NJ, that is a 16" picture tube , probably like mine a 16DP4 , I have a spare 16DP4 that's not the greatest but functional , I know if you put a brightener on it it looks really good but will work without one and give a good picture with a few minutes of warm up incase you need one, curious what spare parts do you have?

First of all make sure that it is a 10BP4 that you would need. I have pictures of it on my public profile, and I will try to upload them with this reply. I had a guy that was going to give me $100 for it plus shipping, however he found one that was closer to him. The tube is good, very good emission, and is a GE dated 08 of 1958. I had it in a set (a stromberg carlson) but never could get it working, as the set was just too far gone. However I did get a bright raster on it when it was in the set and when was working on it. I don't know about shipping. I don't have any CRT boxes around and all I could do is have UPS pack it for me the best they could. If interested send me a private message on this site and we will work out shipping and payment. I guess shipping would be in the range of (maybe) $30. Would also have to see about shipping insurance if I send it.

If you have experience with restoring the electronics of tube radios you can fix a tube TV. I stopped getting much enjoyment fixing tube radios long ago...They just are not enough of a challenge to me anymore.
If you are gun shy from getting zapped by HV then to be blunt SUCK IT UP. I've gotten meaner shocks from tube radios and meaner still from Xmas lights than from touching the 25KV HV lead of an 80's color set that had just been turned off. If you work on any device that plugs into the wall long enough you WILL get a zap eventually and no device is more dangerous in that regard than an other...Only through good work procedure can shocks be minimized.

im not afraid of getting shock, im afraid of being my typical clumsy self and having that nice round picture tube implode or frying it out beyond repair. im amateur when it comes to repairing, and its a beautiful set. i dont want to risk messing it up (even more than it is currently) i dont mind having to pay someone to fix it. i just dont wanna be robbed! lol!

it would cost more and be more dangerous then driving it to someone.
don't worry about the picture tube imploding it wont happen from just siting . is there a model number on the chassis or cabinet or tube chart ? mike

Safest thing for the CRT is to remove it and get a 5AXP4 or 8AXP4 test CRT those make the chassis easier to handle during restoration.
