Hello To All!

This is my first post. I have just received my first vintage television. I got an RCA color console tv. It is a model HM-819 "The Nordholm". The lady was moving and said that it was going in the trash if I didn't want it. It has the AM/FM Tuner on the right and the record player on the left. She was the original owner and saved the manual, schematic (for a CTC40 chassis) and even the RCA Trans Vista tag that hung down from the knob in the showroom! The cabinet is scrached and faded, and one leg is broken off, but it seems to be in fairly good shape. All the knobs are there (one is broke, but the broken off piece is still there.

I really would like to get a GE color console that I had when I was young. My father purchased it around 1966-1968 and it was very beautiful, with a door that covered the tv, and you pulled it up and slid it above the television like an old style garage door! My mom still has super 8 film of her opening it up for the first time with the TV on to a real color tv show (I think that it was Bewitched). Ah.. The Good Ol' Days...
