Free RCA Roundie on STL CL

Here is an RCA roundie with a remote for free in the St. Louis area. I already have one roundie and don't need another. If anyone is interested I could probably grab it and hold it until you can come pick it up.

No cataracts on what looks to be a rare earth phosphor tube too! It doesn't look like a bonded tube either, this one is glossy while most FJPs are frosted. Sure wish I could grab it, lost out on the last RCA that came my way. One of these days......

I hope someone can save this! It's not everyday that free roundies show up on CL (or, anywhere else for that matter)!

I would like to have it, but working in retail this time of year, I don't know when I would be able to pick it up. St. Louis is about a 5 hour drive one way from west TN.

I think it's a rebuilt 21FJP22 where they put the band in stead of reinstalling the bonded glass. The bonded glass is what gave the old 21FJs the dark green appearance. A lot of them were done with the band in the 80s and 90s. I guess it was cheaper, and they were selling rebuilt 21FJs for $39 at most of the local rebuilders.

Man, I hope one of us gets this puppy, & it don't end up in the trash...St Louie might as well be on the other side of the world, though...

I have a roundie in the garage all covered up with the exact same cabinet and it's a CTC-11. Was the lobby set at WTVT in Tampa (now FOX13) way back "in the day". Hope to get it operational again soon--last time I turned it on about 5 years ago it had the wonderful white line across the screen.

Last time I turned it on it had a wonderful white line across the sceen. Hope to get it operational again in '09. The pix tube only has 2 or 3 hours on it if that. I put it in when I first brought the set home in about 1980 or so.

I kinda like those white line sets-it shows a lot of promise, and can only be so hard to fix.
