I was extremely lucky on my working one. Cabinet is kinda beat up a little but the chassis is like new and has very little use judging by the 1961 dated strong original crt and almost all original Zenith tubes(all tested good) except for the damper tube which is an RCA tube.It had no evidence whatsoever of under chassis work also. |

Like I said in an earlier post, lemme know if there is anything you may need parts-wise while you are in the area. a PM will do! Cheers,

Had arrangements to get it and everything and suddenly it was not available. The sad thing is I was getting this for my friend,not myself as I already have one. It was for the very same lady that now has the 1956 Admiral Super Cascode I have posted about a few times on here. She only has a small suv and I have a pickup which you need to haul the 6 ft long HSC1.(Yes it really is 72" or 6ft long) you can bet your bippy I won't ask any questions or even casually mention any arrangements to get anything on that group unless it's safely in my possession. |

I also have a restored Motorola 19K1 chassis that needs to find it's way down to Tennessee. I bet the owner would be happy to chip in some gas money too if you can manage it. Last edited by bandersen; 05-29-2011 at 01:58 AM. |

The 3DG4 comments made me think. I bought a load of tubes from an old TV shop around 1980. I got several 3DG4's, but never saw a set that used them. I probably still have them in a box in the basement, as everything from the shop wound up there.
Back on topic: I drove from Asheville NC to Nashville TN to pick up a Crosley 402 (I think) chassis, that just happened to have a rebuilt CRT on it, that the seller never mentioned in our emails. I could not have been happier! The CRT is vastly better than mine is. |

Zenith used that rectifier tube in several models of black & white sets in the early 60's.

I sure don't see anything wrong with that drive...heck, I've driven that far many, many times just for something to do-no TV stuff involved! Every couple years we will drive down as far as Cape Charles, just to see if it's still there, I guess! I don't go over the bridge just for fun, though, due to the $$$.
I'm glad rld drove to St.Michaels for that 630-he told me about the seller and we have become friends. I ended up getting my own 630 from him, along with lots of other goodies, usually via horse trading for audio stuff I find.

With tubes, it's always a crap shoot. I used to list some "desireable types" on ebay about 10 years ago, and got mixed results. Mullard tubes, I got top dollar, but the Amperex, couldn't sell. Listed the same Amperex with the TV-7D/U test results, and got top dollar. A week later, I couldn't sell anything, but the same tubes by other sellers were hot - they had their (often bogus) "Hickok" test results. I got out quick - too much hype, little gain, and by that time I had already made enough for a Key West vacation. I don't blame you - not much non-commercial stuff to do down here, lest you wanna go see or hear some artsy-fartsy stuff. The occassional concert, but DC/Baltimore seems closer for you. Cheers,
