New Member-Old Teleset!

[CaryLee]

Howdy!

My name is Cary and I'm just beginning my odyssey of restoring a DuMont RA-112-A1 that my grandparents purchased new in 1950 or so. They owned and used it for many years until it was replaced probably around 1960 or so. I was born in 1964, and all I remember is that it was stored in a corner of the master bedroom of my grandmother's house until she sold the place in the mid to late 1980's. The house was scheduled for demolition after sale, so the new landowners could put up a bunch of tract-homes on the property. The old appliances in the kitchen, some old furniture, and the TV had been left behind. On my last visit I manged to stuff the TV into the back of a van and haul it home, a couple hundred miles away, and I've been hauling it around ever since. In the last year I've got a couple of antique radios under my belt, and an antique phonograph, and it's time to do something with that old Teleset! So, SAM'S Photofact, Rider's Guide, a couple of basic multimeters and electrical testers, and soldering iron in hand...here I go!!!
