'80 19" RCA & '77 25" Truetone console
I picked up a '77 Wells-Gardner built Truetone console as a result of my "free TV pick-up" ad. The guy said it was a tube set; but, I knew that was not the case when I saw it was made in '77. What's strange is there is no mention of "Solid State" on the set and there's no "no user serviceable parts inside" warning near the interlock. I fired it up and I have sound but no HV. The cabinet is cheap particleboard. I'll play with it to see if I can fix it; but, it probably won't stay here as I don't have room.
I also got an '80 19" RCA XL-100. This set just needs the tuner cleaned and the usual adjustments. I have not opened it up; but, I think it has the single board chassis that is mounted on a metal frame that looks like a basket.
