Greg,
Very nice, clean set. RCA was very clever in that design. Like the Corvair Lakewood as well. Canada is well represented in rare collectables by your efforts. -Steve D.

Thanks Steve, I try my best. This TV is the first one I have brought home that the wife is excited about and is already planning its spot in the living room. She likes it so much she even talked it up to her Mom, LOL.
I will have to give this one priority over the others. Gregb

Beautiful RCA Hideaway and Corvair Lakewood. Canada is indeed well represented in your house in the rarity field of industrial legends.

That' a really fine set and the cabinet is in such great shape, just think of how much work you won't have to do it! I'll bet that CRT will wake up after it cooks a while.
I did the same thing, found a set I liked close to home, drove over to have a look, liked it made a deal and brought it home. I may have paid a few bucks more than some around here would pay but there's just not a lot of vintage sets around Weaverville, NC. Sometimes when you see a set you like you have to go for it. I'm working on a 1958 RCA 14" portable and it's a tough set to work on with a big shield soldered to back of the circuit board and a completely rotted off yoke cover, it's probably not worth the caps it would take to fix it but it has that cool retro style and the red cabinet matches the interior of my 63 Corvair Spyder coupe. Nice Lakewood!  I think I like the Canadian built corvairs better, none of that gloppy looking trunk splatter paint.

I have my fingers crossed on the CRT and I think it will come back. The selection of vintage TV' around here is pretty dismal. Plus the fact that the price's are high here without a doubt a guy just has to pay the price if you like the set. Its not like investing and hoping for a big return, not going to happen.
Like I said in a previous post, I do it for fun and the excitement of getting them working again. Gregb
