Well O.K.
Good Stories All !
When I worked at the local Rescue Mission Alliance - sort of like the Salvation Army, Goodwill - here in Syracuse as a part time TV / Radio/ Phonograph/ all things electronic repairperson in the early 1970's I could have bought a 15 inch- 15gp22 that is - blond cabinet General Electric console with a good CRT for $2.50. Yes- Two Dollars Ands Fifty Cents.
" Beyond Repair " sets could be purchased for that. But because I was honest and repaired it the company got $100.00 more than they had before. (I couldn't afford it!) Another one never crossed my doorway again. Or another set with a 15g or 21ax in it either for that matter. No , I don't regret my decision. I hope it's making as good a picture today for somebody as it was last time I saw it. .
I did buy a Ge console with a well used original sulfide 21axp22. It had 4 5u4's in the rectifier circuit. And a great picture if I nursed it along. It wasn't for the casual viewer.
Price was $2.50 of course. I wish I had that one back as it was my first color set. I swapped it for a Delmonico Nivico console- which was a piece of junk- live and learn.
