My uncle had one of these "appliance store specials" and you certainly got what you paid for. While easy to troubleshoot and keep on life support, they were nothing compared to a Zenith, Motorola WID or Sylvania OR even the Admiral, RCA, Mag and Philco in those days. The lousy tuners, short-lived 23VAGP22, and that 3DS3 lead covered rectifier tube was an added bonus

THIS is what I brought back...
It is a 19 Emerson portable BW....with a COLD chassis and a 5U4 rct tube !! I had seen a pic of one of these...but NEVER thought I would actually OWN one !! VERY good tube---checks VERY well on the CR-70..even down to 4.5 volts--good emission. Pics:: My CAT ANGEL..even seem to like the chassis !! |

Nice set. That was in the solid-built BW days, like 1963?
Chassis number is 6 digits beginning with 120___ Hope it passed the sniff test, lloks like she approves

I considered buying that set, but the seller had all but the price on the tag (why tag it at all if no pricing?) and I did not get a good chance to ask him what he wanted.
Glad it's in good hands.

I absolutely couldn't believe that one guy just plugged in one of the sets he bought, it was like a 12" late 40s series string GE. He actually got a raster and a fuzzy wavy picture came in. Rather than unplug it and say "great, got something to work with!!", he left it plugged in and running for like 20 minutes trying to fool with the knobs to get the picture in better.
I felt so bad for that set.....

I would have done the same thing...... And all those people selling stuff that say " I was
told not to plug it in so I didn't" They lie ! As long as it looks ok, not wet looking damp smelling, mouse house looking, rusty chassis.... plug it in and see what happens.... .

Here are some pictures of set's I picked up at the ETF meet.
Ctc 7. It was a trade for a 21axp with Nick. He did a lot of work to this set and it is working good. CTC 11. This set I bought from Dave. It is in like new condition and all it needed was a alignment of the crt. Ge porta color Set that was flat lined. A cleaning of the lin control fixed that. A really nice Sharp portable with stand. Have not worked on this set yet. Chassis is really compact and will have to spend some time on it to get at the horz board. This was the first time I saw the ETF and it was vintage tv over load. Just Awesome. Also, This was the first time I got to meet other Tv collectors and they where really cool people. For sure I will go to the tv convention next year.
