Hi all. My experience with DuMont equipment is limited to test gear. I've owned a few early-to mid- 1950s DuMont "oscillographs" and they are truly well built pieces. The tube complements and transformer size is incredible not to mention the overdone chassis steel and the intelligent layout. On one of mine, a dual trace green crt model, most of the tubes are shockmounted on rubber and spring bases & the h.v. supply is tightly regulated.
That being said, I've also got a mid sixties DuMont Emerson b/w 19" t.v.. plastic cabinet, flimsy circuit board holding the tubes, poor soldering which I've touched up a few times already.
