1950 arvin!

When tvtim listed this set in the classifieds I thought it perhaps worth a trip to Indiana to fetch. I am now very sorry I didn't make that trip.


P.S.--no, I no longer want it.

Hi All;
Radiotron, I am suprised with a name like "Radiotron" that You do not know what a 6SN7 is.. It is a twin Triode, mainly used in Oscilators and in sync limiter or amplifier circuits.. In alot of sets, a number of the miniture tubes could take its place, such as the 6/12 AT7, 6/12 AU7 etc.. And many others..
THANK YOU Marty

I'd check the resistors around the 6SN7, maybe one went open.

Oh, let's not bust the kid's chops too much, think of the errors we all made when we were learning this hobby. The ones that make us cringe today...

When I have a TV or radio that works on its original caps, I won't run it that way very long. I take it as an assurance that the time money and effort I'll spend recapping it will likely be successful.

I'm the first to admit that when I was a kid, I destroyed some really beautiful TV's with a channel 1 on the tuner... also, many wire recorders, and console radios. I've got an Atwater Kent 84 cabinet, but I tossed the chassis because the power transformer was cooked. What a dork I was.

Hi All;
I was not trying to as you say "bust the kids chops", I just mis-understood what He wanted or was asking..
My list of Electronic Equipment that I have ruined, lost and thrown away is a mile high.. So, Yes, I've been there.. Done that.. And my list of -- I wish of I still had that -- Is just about as long..
THANK YOU Marty

Yeah i murdered a philco roundie like the HAPPY DAYS tv.

Troubleshooting it till the main cap let loose... Stripped and tossed it thereafter...

Was before i got into High school electronics class with all the cool test equipment at my disposal... Ah, the TVs that might have lived if i had waited...
