I still have the rest of that chassis for you if you want it, I'll drop it on your porch next time I drive by.

I don't have any sets that use that chassis, but if no one else needs it, sure I'll take it.

I brought the TV chassis inside for a closer look. Some of the power resistors and one or two caps have been replaced, but the rest looks stock.


Nice, original warning labels.


Flyback appears to be OK.


RCA CRT had good emissions within seconds and the life test is rock solid
Quite possibly the best used 10BP4 I've come across so far.


Assuming I didn't pick up the hantavirus in that basement, I'd say it was worthwhile

I see that chassis has a Standard Coil tuner. Is it a split channel audio? I see it uses a leaded tube shield on the 6J6. All the early models I've seen had a radio that was powered by the tv power supply. At least it has that coveted HV cage cover.

Yes, it's split audio. I would have thought the radio would be powered from the TV supply, but it has it's own transformer.

I took a closer look at the radio and was surprised to discover that it's completely self contained. It even has it's own power cord and 6V6 output amp. I really expected it to share some components with the TV especially the separate power and amp chassis.





That big cap is a replacement for the one mounted on top of the chassis.


The control layout is a little goofy.

OFF-ON-TONE, FM-BC-PW, VOLUME

I wonder what the PW band position does ?


If I had the tools and skills I could make a customer cabinet for it

The PW may be PH, and it would be for Phono, whether built-in (on some models) or with an external input jack.
