Picked up some sets today.

The County had an auction of Estate stuff today, a Co Worker of mine was going so I gave her some money and instructions on which three sets to bid on based on what it showed on the Auction Web Site.

She got all three of them! All are B&W

One is a small Admiral Combo from the mid 60's I'd guess, 23" TV and a Phonograph on the right side behind a door, got it for $5.00

Another is a Magnavox, possibly a 24", floor model, early 60's, really cheap cabinet, it looks like Mobile Home paneling and the legs look like the'd snap if you look at them wrong, got it for $5.00

The last, and best and the one I told her to focus on the most is a...
well lets say based on the picture I saw online I though it was an early 50's RCA with a 17" rectangular tube, but it wasn't, it was a Sylvania!

OK, it's still just a 17" (i think) B&W set but I was happy to see it was something a little different. Got it for $50, probably saved it from a Fishtanker or something.

All three of these sets are as clean as they come!
They must have belonged to Senior Citizens who passed away, there is a retirement community nearby.

Here are some pictures of the Sylvania.

The CRT checked dead at first but came up really good after a short burst at 8 volts, it was checking near the top of the scale at 5 volts after that.
Hopefully it'll hold, it's an all glass Sylvania brand tube but I don't know what number yet.
