New Silvertone Roundie Combo
Last Saturday, one of my fellow VKers here in Tucson (thanks Gary!) left me a message that he found a roundie combo unit at an estate sale, and gave me the address. I was out all day, and didn't get the message until late that evening, by which time the sale was over. I decided to take a chance and stopped by the house on Sunday and knocked on the door to see if it was still available. Fortunately, the owners themselves were running the sale and not some professional "estate sale" people and, a couple of hours and $100 later, the set was sitting in my garage. The cabinet is in very nice shape, and will only take a bit of cleaning and some minor work. The CRT tests good, and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of cataracts. The chassis is an RCA clone (not sure which model.....the Silvertone chassis number is 528-62210), and looks to be pretty clean and unmolested. Flyback visually looks OK. The amp and tuner are solid state. I'm guessing 1965-1966?
Another one for the restoration queue after retirement..... Last edited by hi_volt; 06-28-2013 at 10:17 AM. |
