Trash day !!
 

Found these two beasts in the trash today,both look like they were sittig in water for a few years.The ge on the left actually produced a watchable picture,the big rca produces sound on am,fm and tv,the tv has an off frequency
horizontal squeal...,and yes I plugged them in just as found ! :nono: Both are good only for parts.:no:Sofar I have found 3 tube tvs in the trash this year,so they are still out there! And now my failing digital camera only takes pix in black and white...when it feels like working

That GE looks like it's been sitting in someone's back yard!

Funny your camera should go black& white on ya, but mebbe it's from taking pics of all this retro stuff that does it. The wagon to the left of those sets looks like a late '50s Caddy or something... :scratch2:

Ye are a fella after me oon heart! :thmbsp::D

Is this a Time Travel thing? Looks like something from Leave it to Beaver.

My dad was a TV bench man back then. Cool photo.

You are so right!

I found an RCA like that, I think it's a 730? Mine was the same story, it had seen a flood long ago, and the radio was missing. The crt was good and the chassis, which had stayed high and dry, found a good home.

The RCA is a 9TW333... I have one. It's one of the early ones which has a 78 RPM turntable below, and a 45 under the lid. That's a very nice set, so it's worth restoring the cabinet if the wood structure isn't too far gone.

I find it hard to believe that a Cavalier could fit a dogfood can--never mind a console of that magnitude. :ntwrthy: What a packer you are! (ptoo-ptooey) What a packer you are! (Ptooo! Ptoo Ptooooeey!!)

(As if you needed it this is from the old joke about "If you can park that car in that half space I'll..... :D )

I remember having to dismantle and remove two Wurlitzer model 40 tone cabinets (40x36x27 inches housing some nice-looking amp iron on shelves behind two 15"s and two 12"s.) This was at a remote church in a small town with no help. I crammed the contents of these dismatled cabinets--amps and drivers removed, and the cabinets completely dismantled--into the back of an '80 Plymouth Horizon fordor car. I just barely got it all in there--dismantled as it was!!.... :rolleyes: :D
