Did you get that set recently? I think I might have been eyeing it on ebay too ;) cbenham 07-22-2009, 11:31 PM [QUOTE=bandersen;2898213]Great score! Did you get that set recently? About a month ago. I will try to find a gel-cell battery that will fit into the case so it can be used as a portable as it is supposed to be. A very 'heavy' portable. #;^) Cliff Sandy G 07-23-2009, 07:44 AM Kewl !

Sweet little set BTW, I've always wanted one but the price goes too high every time. zenithfan1 07-23-2009, 04:00 PM [QUOTE=cbenham;2899090] Planning to build your own TV station to transmit analog? :D I did:D zenithfan1 07-23-2009, 04:02 PM Wow, the quotes are not working right.

Better send it back. Somebody obviously made a mistake. :) cbenham 07-23-2009, 09:01 PM An eBay purchase that works?!? Better send it back. Somebody obviously made a mistake. :) This *begins* to make up for the 2 bakelite Admiral 7 inch sets that were smashed to pieces, the Philco 12 inch set with the neck broken off the CRT, and the very rare Altec Lansing 12 inch set that arrived with the CRT broken and IF transformers damaged because the power transformer was loose and swinging around on it's wires! Still quite amazed over that one! |
