Will these work? I really can't tell from the pic for sure. Getting ready to start on this set and still trying to find the knobs and back panel for it.

Thanks,
Don

Without seeing what your set looks like, make, model, etc., I don't know it the knobs being offered are correct, or, not. The four knobs don't even seeem to match each-other. Two look like from a 1949 RCA, and, two look like they are from a 1946 RCA.
What brand, and, model set do you have?
Ebay removed that listing, so, I can't see it.

OOps. Now I see. No. They are the wrong knobs.You need channel selector, and, fine tuning knobs, plus, the plastic dial escutcheon that has the numbers. I might have the fine tuning knob, and, the escutcheon, but, I'm out of the channel selector knob.

That would be great if you have the fine tuning knob and the escutcheon. With the members help, like you Bill, i may be able to get it together. The set is in real good shape as for appearance. Don't know what they did with the knobs. That also saved me from buying knobs that won't work. Bill just let me know on the price and shipping. Zip 41179. The smaller knobs are wrong too.




Thanks,

For those of you interested, the RCA 9TC245 schematic is also available in the Rider TV book volume 4.

Here is a partial photo of the first page.

Refill - The Ebay auction for the TV knobs you mention is my auction.

Those knobs go with the RCA 8T243, 8T244, and someother sets.

Thanks Jonboy55 for the reply on the knobs. I sure didn't know if they would work or not. They are a few different models that will work with this set. I guess i could buy another set for the parts i need, but i hate to part out a set that can be restored. These old sets are a very much part of our history. Enough of them gets trashed or made into a fish tanks already. A part of us that is lost forever. Didn't think i would have any problem finding them. I have ordered the caps for it already. The pic tube is good and set looks really good. I'm sure i can find what i need for it without parting another one out.

Thanks,
Don

Don - I've become confused with all the postings on your TV.

Which parts are you looking for or have you come up with everything?

Jon

[refill233]

Jonboy55, still haven't come up with my parts yet. I need all the front knobs,the ones on it are wrong, and the back panel,(back cover). Also the plastic dial escutcheon with the channel numbers. Take a look at the first post on this thread and look at the pics i posted.

Thanks,
Don

[refill233]

Will these work? Having a hard time getting anything for this set. Guess i'll have to part one out.

Thanks,
Don

The chassis is entirely different, but, the knobs, and, dial escutcheon are exactly the same as yours.
Back cover won't work, though it is close.
The chassis no in that set is KCS 45. It was a budget set with selenium rectifiers in the lv supply.
I'd just hate to see that set destroyed.
If you buy it, please don't strip the set. It's un common.
But, the good news is your most important parts are there.....

Thanks Bill for the info on the set. Thats bad on the back cover. Sure needed it too.



Don

[Bill Cahill]

A new back could be fabricated. The most important parts are all there.
But, PLEASE, don't destroy the other set. It's a keeper.
