Hi folks!!
I'm a new forum entry, this is my first message. I'm an italian boy, I'm 17yo. I like collecting and particulary repairing vintage radio and television. I've just restored a vintage italian TV set, a 1957 Geloso model GTV1014 television.
Here you can see some photos and videos:

It works perfectly, but I'm looking at a NOS 21AUP4 (or 21AVP4, they're exactly same) to have a stock. For the delivery..... we're seeing later. Here in Italy and Europe this type of CRT is unobtainable.
Thanks.

I'm ok with Don. Thanks to everybody!!!!

Welcome dear friend, hope you get to enjoy a lifetime hobby with your old TVs.
I have two Canadian built 21-inch sets (1956 Viking and 1960 Electrohome), I'm
slowly working on them. Best regards.

In these days I'm going to replace the original 1B3GT HV rectifier, because the final anode voltage is only 9,000 volts instead of the 16,000 volts specified. In this way I hope to get more more brightness, without turning the control too high. I've got some problems to buy a 1B3GT good: one has the filament burnt, the seller sends me another tube, wich has an internal filament defect, hitting the glass with fingers the filament gets on and off. Damned 1B3GT!!!
