New Project: Westinghouse H-619T12U

[Eric H]

This is a local set I picked up off eBay for $50.

It biggest asset is the rebuilt CRT that checks like new.
It's missing some knobs and the back, also the cabinet is coming unglued in spots but is in good condition overall, no warpage or rot, just bad glue which is easily fixed.

The chassis is in really good condition, just a bit dirty but complete and untouched as far as I can see, the Flyback looks good.

I powered it up with a dim bulb and got a hum, also the main filter can started getting warm, it has also been leaking electrolyte.
I disconnected the B+ wires from it and jumped in a good cap and got static from the speaker but no HV, the Oscillator is no doubt inop due to bad paper caps.
It's kind of unusual that it uses two 1X2 HV rectifiers, I don't know if it's a doubler circuit because I don't have the schematic for it.
I like the tall skinny look of this set.
The underside of the chassis seems a little bare, WestingMuntz?

Another curiosity and a Philco connection, the chassis corners are set up to use rubber isolation mounts, same as Philco did.
I know Phil has a Westinghouse that's 100% Philco on the inside so I wonder if Philco built this chassis for them also?
