Just got a 1950 Olympic TV
I just picked up a 1950 Olympic DX619 16" console tv. It is in pretty good shape. The chassis is clean and some work has been done in changing some of the caps. The cabinet will refinish nicely with very little veneer damage. The 16DP4 tested to about 11.5 on my BK 467. Should be serviceable. I have all the knobs too!

The color seems a bit washed out , but the chassis looks very easy to service.



Nice score!

Is that a Dumont sourced CRT?
I'm trying to remember how many firms made a glass roundie 16" CRT. I know Philco made the 16LP4, 16" glass roundie.

I think Westinghouse also had a round 16" all glass CRT, although I don't know who made it.
