Did a little more sifting, and took a couple more pictures...

Fourth set - A Magnavox Astro-Sonic console. It's black and white, and it's also solid state. The cabinet is in rough shape, the finish on the top is pretty bad, it's hard to see in the picture because of the terminals sitting on top of it. It doesn't work - it gets sound but no picture, I don't think it's getting any HV, but it was hard to tell, because the safety glass could have been preventing me from feeling the static. I didn't have much time to tinker with this one either. I do have the back, it's just not on the set at the moment. Pictures attached.

Fifth set - an RCA CTC38. I did some work on this one, if you remember my posts a while back (months ago). I never was able to get it to work. I am pretty sure it needs caps and a flyback. As best I can tell, most of the 38's need flybacks... The cabinet is rough, the finish is damaged on the top. I have the back, although the protective bubble for the tube is broken apart and missing. The tube seems to be ok, it still has vaccuum, anyway. The speaker is damaged (previous serviceman yanked connector off), and the UHF tuner is frozen. The tuner is currently partially disassembled, I have the faceplate and the rest of the parts and knobs. It has the sonic remote control module, which is currently also not inside the set. I _might_ keep that module and the tuner, that is if it is possible to connect it to my CTC28, although I don't think it is. Either way, I don't have the remote, so it's of little use to me. If someone has a use for the tuner/remote module, you're welcome to it though. Picture attached

Sixth set - a little Airline portable. It's in rough shape, untested. The antenna is broken off and the cord is cut. This is just how I found it. It's kinda cute though. Picture attached.
