View Full Version : 1949 Crosley Dj3928 11-06-2024, 06:05 PM Anyone ever seen one of these ? A Quick Look at a 1949 Crosley 10” Console TV https://youtu.be/aSSzwp3HHP0 Electronic M 11-06-2024, 06:09 PM Used to have the chassis to one. It's basically a cost reduced Dumont. Older Crosleys were sold with a straight Dumont RA-103 chassis in a different cabinet (Stromberg Carlson and IIRC Belmont did the same thing). Chris K 11-08-2024, 09:18 AM Yes I have the exact blonde cased chassis unit without the base. Tom is correct, it is almost identical to the RA-103 including the continuous induction tuner. I don't remember if mine has the power circuit relay delay switch like the Dumont. I don't think it does. bandersen 11-08-2024, 02:28 PM It's quite different than an RA-103 isn't it? I mean aside from the tuner. Fewer controls and less tubes for starters. I'm talking about the chassis in the OP. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54126348929_84c7ea179e_z.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/2qsXFNz) Crosley 9-407 is another story. For sure that's an RA-103 clone. https://live.staticflickr.com/3542/3865996358_15f3d82357_z.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/6TCf2C) Dj3928 11-08-2024, 03:40 PM It’s definitely a strange set , I’m looking forward to attempting the restoration Kevin Kuehn 11-08-2024, 06:01 PM Hard to believe it's a Dumont chassis. And I highly doubt Chicago based Belmont used any Dumont chassis, as they were a predominant manufacture themselves. Possibly there's confusion because of the inductance tuners used, but I don't believe Dumont had any exclusive to that design as inductance tuners were used in many radio brands long before Dumont built televisions. :scratch2: bandersen 11-08-2024, 07:05 PM It's a model 9-424 covered in Riders vol 4. Amusing that they used a pair oy 5Y3 in parallel rather than a 5U4. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54125591147_dc0525c965_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/2qsTNxn) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54126890435_b5dbf456c3_c.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/2qt1sLT) |
