In the last month or 2, I have found 4 old tv's. NONE of them are roundies, however. but all of them are desirable, to some extent. THREE of them have came in the last week.
(1) A Zenith 16f27 19" portable 1961 set(WITH Sc300. ) ALL tubes, including SC!! (GREAT crt).
(2) A magnavox 21" consle model(now a table model, 2 legs mising), from about 62 or so. Has a BIG audio out tube that looks lke a 7868-- but it is a 6gc5. Tranny powered, vertical chassis. NO HV, britener on tube.
(3) an RCA kcs-136 set. Console, 23". (2 legs got broken loading, it,now also a table model). 1961, with a STRNGE tuner, seems continuous, and has a weird Fine tune control,but DOES work. pretty good picture, too. ALL tubes, including 5u4 rectifier. Strong CRT.
(4) Zenith metal table model,(wiht 2 big knobs on either side top of cabinet.) 17a30. 1958 model. 21" Good CRT. Works, but tuner is VERY dirty!! Typical boilerplate built chassis.
ALL were trash finds. All are in the storage garage. Will try and get pictures on the other 3 soon(already posted about the 16f27 earlier.)
