Picked up two RCA's today

[Eric H]

Well actually it was yesterday now.

Where to put them, one is Solid State and Color the other is Tubes and B&W, they both have rectangular tubes so here is the right place I guess.

On the left, an RCA XL-100 from 1987, not sure what size, nine or ten inch perhaps? It didn't work when I tried it at the Thrift Store but it seems to work fine now, maybe their outlet was dead?
Anyhow it's a little rough, needs a good cleaning and it has some minor paint wear and a busted antenna, the glare screen is a little fogged but hopefully it'll buff out.
I didn't need it but it was only $5 and it's Red!

On the right, a 1956/57 RCA Personal Portable 8", Off White with no stand.
I was amazed when the Antique Store Lady only wanted $25 for it!
It's in decent condition, one foot broken off but taped to the side of the set, the handle is warped.
There was a tube rattling around inside so I opened it up and put it back in it's socket.

The Filter cap has been replaced with a Sprague at some time in the distant pass, probably along with some of the paper caps that have been replaced with some Turquoise color plastic ones.
It power's up and gets sound from the speaker but no light on the screen despite having a running H Oscillator and an arc at the cap of the HOT.
Something smelled like burning resistor after running for a minute or two so I shut it down.
