I could complicate your last post by saying I have a Motorola model 17T6, complete with strong RCA 16TP4 metal crt. It has a rounded veneer top and is mahogany finish and had a wood stand that is long gone.
Ive had it since I was 12. It needs a re-recap, again since I did half-assed work in those days, only enough just to get them working. Mine is sitting on the shelf, so what ever you decide, I'll go on record as being interested in the leftover parts. I could possibly send it to ETF or bring it next year.

The Admiral is a little too much of a rust-bucket. If the set is extremely rare, I'd say, got with it! That model and it's variants seem to be rather common. |

I'll contact Ben about the Grinnell and see if he minds me backing out of selling it to him. If he don't mind and if it works good with the Moto CRT then I'll keep it, and scrap the Moto...I think I'll keep the legs in case I find a better example of that moto.
The little remote Zenith got most of the sketchy tubular caps on the main chassis changed...No improvement. I'm next going check the sync sep tube. I think I know why it is smoking now. There is a power resistor on the contrast pot that is getting rather hot. It is loosing contrast after warm up. I've been working on the 7" Sentinel set I'm supposed to fix in return for this lot. All caps except for the 6KV jobs have been changed, and I have HV and some sweep (no signal though)...The HV/sweep section has been hacked up some so it could get interesting trying to straighten it out. Was going to do a combined 6KV cap order with a Teletone 7" set, but that thing is 3X as hacked up....All the HV caps are crudely hacked in doorknobs...Looks like I need to scour 2 schematics to make a parts order list...

Great haul Tom,
I thought 16TP4 crt's are all glass and a the 17CP4/ 17TP4 crt would be a metal/ glass type . ED |

ED you are right the 16TP4 is all glass...I was gonna mention that to the person who called it a metal tube, but it slipped my mind.
