Sylvania Saratoga Restoration
Bob and I picked up this set from the Quad Cities area (Moline) yesterday. CRT was sleepy when we got there, but a quick run on the Beltron brought it back up to like new emission on all 3 guns with a decent life test. It's a smoker set, lots of nicotine on the cabinet. First step is scrubbing that crud off, then I will evaluate the chassis for a parts order.
It's very original, a few tube replacements but the CRT is factory Sylvania 21AXP22. Big unknown right now is the Corotron regulator tube, which is unobtanium. I hear Folsom has a way to test them, so I'll likely send it to him to verify.

You don't run across one of these everyday. "The Saratoga" console in Mahogany sold for $695.00 in 1957. There was also a table model available: "The Granada." Nice find.

21AX = round. The mask has a softened contour where it transitions from the sides of the tube to the bottom of the raster, which gives it a kind of rectangular appearance. And before anybody asks (somebody always does) it's not a Halolight.

That's really amazing that the factory tube tests like new. Apparently was a low hours set. |
