I got your Eames Era RCA right here.

[Eric H]

Picked up this beauty off Craigslist (gotta stop that) an RCA 21D7487.
I agonized over it all week and decided if it was still up on Saturday I'd call, well it was still up.
Seller said it was missing the back and offered to drop the price to $20 (from $30) so I really had no choice but to go get it.

CRT is a replacement with a 1963 date code, it checked bad at first but 15 seconds at 8 volts woke it right up, now it stays in the Good range even at 4 volts so I think it'll be fine.

It's the Deluxe model, unfortunately the Deluxe script is missing, the entire thing, not just the D.
Overall it a very clean set and worth the effort to locate a back for it and restore it.

Seller told me he had it at a yard sale and most people were interested in it for Fishtanking or speaker cabinets, i.e. the usual b.s. He also buys vintage Stereo equipment but only the big powerful stuff, I forgot to ask if he was a AK member.

I like it. But better it was on CA Craigslist than WI.

Yeah yeah... it's so tough, isn't it?

That's a really nice looking set. Looks like should be an easy fixer-upper.

Eames era? Shouldn't it have been priced at $3000 instead of $30 and had a necked CRT?

It looks like the timing belt, that drives the tuning indicator, is snapped.
It was always a pain to line up after removing the tuner.
Was the CRT replaced by RCA Service Co? It looks like it is a rebuilt.

Cool tv Eric. About 10 years ago I picked up the same tv. Yes it is gutted (sorry everyone).

Wow, nothing that cool ever shows up on my local CL. Nice!
