Thanks for sharing! That's been my dream TV since first seeing a photo of one as a young teen. The power tuning appears to be the same setup used on the 811K radio (and probably others). I have one (they're fairly common) & it's a great gimmick.

Thanks for the vids! So great to see it working. I would've loved to have seen a shot of the entire set with the screen on. Such an impressive machine to watch TV on! I see it has the ion burn, but it's not bad at all. The early post-war Dumont sets have this often too.
I wasn't aware that these had motorized tuning, but I did hear RCA put one of their best radios in these sets to further entice buyers. Likely the radios were on a lot more than the TV screens!
I have a 811K too bgadow. It's a very common console, but so underrated. It's a very nice Vassos design and about as good a player as you'll find in a '30's radio. By the way, I too was blown away at the first sight of the TRK-9 as a teen in a book about early television. It was number one on my list until I started to realize just how rare it is.
Again, thank you for the vids.

I'm glad the video came out ok, The sound was working better 2 weeks ago,
There are still some dirty contacts that need to be used to clean them up a little.
