Here are the rest of the sets brought by kc8adu. The first two are from rca2000, both beautiful sets. (thanks jack!) In order, 1967 rca victor FH526U. This one has a very unique textured vinal beige cabinet. Then in a 1969 Zenith 18" 16Z8C19 model Y3914-3 and a 1970 RCA ctc36. This one I bought from kc8.
The ctc19 had a defective uhf tuner in which the oscillator transistor needed to be replaced as it was open. I then had to re align the rf on the uhf tuner. RCA is known for jammed uhf tuners. Luckily on both sets, it was only dried grease. However, the infamous 6GH8's were already replaced. As for the zenith it looks like it was just built. needed some convergence touch up and control lubrication its all good now (love those easy fixes!) Interesting to note, the tv was serviced at mobile tv service in Glenview, IL which is very close to me and this set was in cincinatti!
As for the 1970 rca, I havnt worked on it yet but looks very nice and appears to be an all tube chassis. there may be a transistor or two I missed, but looks loaded with tubes which is a very good thing. Thanks again to rca2000 for selling me these two nice tvs and kc8adu for bringing them to ft wayne.
