sylvania color set (23v rectangle)

[DaveWM]

buddy of mine was cleaning out an old estate. had a nearly mint sylvania 23v rectangle set (not a clone). He did not have space for it so gave to me. I checked it out and it had a nearly dead R and B CRT the G was fine. Anyway I fired it up and was able to get a good raster on green, and if I turned the G all the way down and the R and B all the way up I could see it was demodulating the color signals.

I put it aside figured I would part it out at some point just to make space, since I did not want to use one of my good CRT's on it as I was saving them for a zenith I have.

Yesterday I say a CL add for an old TV it looked like a Maggie rectangle with the tambor doors.

5$ later I have it in my truck (not going to test anything for 5$). Got it home and pulled the chassis and CRT. The cab was a mess faux finish plastic chic, and messed up at that, plus the particle board was coming apart. the chassis is not a clone. I may someday feel the need to put it on a jig and try it out.

Now the good part, while it does have a bit of a green halo, it test excellent on the CR-70 like new really, so I guess I will now have to swap it in for that beat CRT on the sylvania and get it going. I will post up some pics and make a video of it later.
