Here is my favorite. I'll have it in August. It's a scarce 1950 RCA Victor model6T74. Been searching for that set for over 30 years to replace our original family tv.

Cahill, Congratulations on Your find. I also am looking for 27 inch Kaye Halbert TV & Our Forum member Kaye Halbert also as well. They built them in Culver City Ca. in the 50's.We still had our set till 1965. I hope all of our collectors could have some of the first sets our family had it makes our colections more personal. Its fun to meet new people when we are looking for sets we want as well... G.B.

I'll say that set is hard to find. The last time I saw an RCA round-tube B&W set like that was over 35 years ago. Slightly different cabinet style than the one pictured in this thread, but I think it used the same chassis.

Watch TV on a lot of different TVs.
Tried to make top bezel on my RCA 621 project 4 times and failed, too many curves, nothing is straight so took vacation from that and put this together in less time then one fail. Had chassis in it but took out to seal and finish cabinet.

Doug,
It is always good to see a pile of TVs. I note that you have good taste, there are some choice sets in your collection. Now you need to start restoring some (or all) of them to wroking cndition... that is half the fun! Or maybe Steve K could help....?

Hi Doug:
I agree with Eric, FINALLY you joined us! You certainly do have a great collection and I enjoyed our visit yesterday and the chance to see you new (old) sets. I have all the parts in stock to restore that TT-5 and the Westinghouse so feel free to bring them over so I can get started. You can't just have them sitting there not working! Steve

Welcome Doug!
Haven't seen you in awhile... Heard that you moved away from Ontario? Charles (with the former rental garage full of old TVs that you came to in Van Nuys a few years ago)

Thanks all for the welcome!
Its nice to hear from you so far! I have been on the websites of you that have sites and enjoyed seeing your collections! I have recently picked up a "Halbert" table top 10" set from about 1948 or 49 not to sure but I cant find info. on. Im assuming its pre "Kaye Halbert" but not sure but it has a very radical stepped up middle section with very pronounced shoulders. The name tag is below the screen and its metal and it just says "Halbert". Im sorry i dont have a photo as the cabinet had some damage and its at the refinisher getting repaired and refinished. Any info. would be greatly appreciated.
