Got all the stuff unloaded and packed in the garage. Its going to take a year plus to sort through everything and test it.
The sets I did test all had some little problem. The good thing is the crts are all strong and all seem to have good hv. The first one on the bench now is the 20x1c38 table top. It has all kinds of weird problems. contrast pot does nothing, pulled in on the sides with a moving S pattern, color is not consistent through the picture. |

Great, great stuff. Neat to see that Portacolor II, good save.
On that Philco yoke, I bet any 21" color yoke from the sixties would work. Well, any RCA/clone, anyway.

I opened that Japanese PB color portable and I suspect that it was built by Mitsubishi or NEC. All the tubes are branded NEC. In fact, the chassis looks just like the one in an early '70's Truetone portable that our family used to own.

Opened one of the PB BW sets and same thing. GS SE chassis. Whole set has like 5 compactrons in it.
I have opened a few with the Mitsubishi chassis too. They seem to be junk. The crts are dead in those and they have about 50 of those blue bulging axial electrolytics. Theres one set Im in loves with so far. Its a PB all tube American Made wood table top. The crt is done though. Besides being weak the cataract is so bad its unusable. Im thinking about getting it rebuilt. |

I think I would concentrate on that USA made set.
I wonder who built those two 9" B&W's in the colored plastic cases. I guess by the early '70's, PB read the writing on the wall and discovered that it was cheaper to import it's smaller screen sets from Japan instead of building them at their own factory here in the USA. |

You may very well have the only Packard Bell Portacolor in existence
That Truetone B&W console I got was made by Admiral - a hot chassis hybrid with Compactrons. In fact, it's identical to the set in the '69 Admiral brochure posted on http://tvhistory.tv |

Radiotvphononut, what ever became of this location? If you ever get to go again, I'd love to go with y'all. Not just to get TV's, but to meet you, and Dan and Ryan. I just got through watching Dan's video - that trip sure looked like a lot of fun.
