I found this RCA 17S6032 TV on the curb.

CRT tests good.

Made in 1957.

Wow! Those don't show up on the curb very often. Great save! I always liked the RCA's with the little door on top for the controls.

I once found a TV like that RCA (think it was an RCA, but similar model, mounted on a swivel) on the curb back around 1970, but my father (who was also into electronics) said to not waste time on a set with such a small screen. Tested the tubes, think the horiz output's cathode had a short to the heater, but as a high school kid with no money, couldn't afford the big bux for a new tube. :tears: It got parted out and tossed. At the time it wasn't an interesting antique, but just an old POS...

I sure do miss those bulk trash drives of the '60's and 70's. Tons of neat stuff like your Great RCA! Are you going to restore it?
