Does this Canadian RCA have a US cousin?
Got this a few days ago from forum member Gregb - Thank you! It's a bit new for his collection but right up my alley.
1965 RCA Victor TC3656 23" black and white console. Works great - all original inside. Has some replacement tubes, but not too many. The plate cap for the horizontal output broke off when I moved it, so had to re-solder. High voltage is 15kV, which should be about right. Picture tube tests excellent, Twin 4" speakers give a quasi stereo effect I quite enjoy. Also the EL84 audio output is a nice touch.. the one in this TV is even a Mullard. Linearity and focus are good. I hooked up a VCR to see if I could get it to work, and ended up just sitting and watching a movie, rather than playing with the TV. I'm looking for service data because despite how well it works, I want to change caps and give it a tune-up. Despite not being a collectible set, this will be great for what it was made for - i.e. watching TV. Especially fitting to have it in my workshop room to watch videos of other guys fixing old TVs on YouTube. Any chance this crosses to a KCS number which I can get a sams for? I tried regular sources without luck. |
