Awesome job! And that fuel tubing is a cool bit of cross-pollination from the model plane hobby. Are you an RC flyer too?

Great job, the tv is just absolutely gorgeous!

IMHO, the reproduction lables might look a bit more natural if printed on off-white paper... perhaps parchment paper?

Have you seen the vintage tv bank?

Thanks guys for the kind words.

The back label is printed on some ivory colored paper not white. My guess it's just the way the picture makes it look.

Wow, Yeah I put a bid in for it. Thanks jr tech.

OK guys I could use some help. I need to make a back for this TV. Does anyone have one of these that could take a picture of the back. Even if you have a different model but the same Bakelite cabinet a picture of that back would help a whole lot.

I've drawn up the outer shape that will fit the cabinet and marked the center of the base of the CRT. But I need an example of the cooling hole pattern.
Thanks.

A member on ARF sent me some pictures of his 614A back. I then leveled it and cropped it. Then I imported it into my CAD program drawing that I had the outline of the back already drawn using my cabinet for dimensions. I then scaled the picture to "full size" and superimposed my drawing over the picture. Of course it wasn't perfect due to the fact that the picture isn't a "flat" layout of the back. Some distortion was expected. I then drew the details of the cooling holes and the cut out for the CRT/Centering handle.
I then used my cabinet with the chassis mounted and got the dimensions for the antenna terminal strip cut out, the interlock cut out and the H. Lin control cut out.
Tomorrow I'll print it out full size and cut a trial fit out of some poster board. Make the corrections needed and then print it out again and start cutting the Masonite.
Please note that the mounting holes actually show the the shape of the cabinet and not what is needed to cut out on the back. The back have will proper width slots.

Also, it's probably good to undersize the back something like 1/16"-3/16" all around the edges that abutt the cabinet so it fits without rubbing even if placed in a humid wood swelling environment and so it matches what they likely did originally.

Right. My first pass will be "full size" with the poster board. then we'll go from there.

Here are a couple of pictures that show how well the back fit after I glued the drawing to a double thickness of poster board. A few holes, the interlock, and the H Size control cut outs were moved about 1/16. Then the overall outside lines were moved in 1/16. Then a final drawing was made. This will be printed off in reverse and glued to the inside of the Masonite. This way there won't be any damage to the outside or visible side of the back.

The back is all cut out. Now onto the labels and interlock mount.

Perhaps I missed something, but how did you make such clean cuts? You got a CNC laser cutter or something similar?
