Trash Finds 2007

[polaraman]

I will have to start this thread this year. I have 4 antique and 1 thrift stores in walking distance of my house. I get up most Saturdays and walk to the thrift to check out the FREE pile. They had a bunch of stuff there this Saturday. I got this set from the pile. It is a 1973 CTC48 rectangular color solid state set. The picture tube is in excellent shape but the set wil not power up. I really liked the pull out control door. A Posible restoration candidate in the future.

I also got a 1977 RCA VHS VCR from the pile. It was made 15 December 1977. The model number VBT200. I wonder if they came from the same house??? This thing is really heavy. It has made in Japan stamped on the back. :-(

The VCR goes to play and the wheels will not turn to play the tape. It pickes up the tape, puts it on the head but the tape will not play. I took a picture with the top off. Is there supposed to be a belt on the two brass wheels?
