Projection Set #9

Here's the latest projection set in the collection. A RCA 741PCS, these were produced in 1948 & 1949, cost was around $1,300. I believe they were made for a commercial establishment, probably high end gentlemans club or restaurant, not your neighborhood bar. The lower section of the cabinet is covered in a textured simulated leather, the upper is a beautiful flame mahogany. This is the set open.

Eric,

Yes it is working. Needs a little tune up on focus across the full screen and audio is low and noisey. Mirrors & CRT appear to be excellent, nice bright raster.
