Picked up a Tele-Tone TV682

[Eric H]

Steve K alerted me to a couple old TV's being given away in my area, turns out it was someone I know already, only one of them was left and I got it, a Tele-Tone TV-682 apparently.

Sorry, no pictures yet till I get it home.

It's Kin to this set from the ETF but it's a 12" model and it has legs and doors, well it's supposed to have doors but they've been torn off.

This set might be restorable but I would consider it more of a parts set given the missing doors, knobs, back and a CRT that I was told is bad.


One odd thing about it is the CRT used, it's a 12TP4, branded Tel-O-Tube on the bell in what looks like the DuMont Font.

It looks original to the set.

In what appears to be a cost cutting move the CRT only has Phosphor on the area that will be scanned, in other words there is a band of phosphor that goes full width but is lacking about 1.5 inches top and bottom, it also appears to be a very thin coating and has a see through quality to it.
It also has no Dag but it does have an Ion trap.
I hope it works at least a little bit, I'm curious to see what it looks like.

I found a Sams with a picture of the model.
