Perplexed re: Stromberg Carlson TC-19 “New Yorker”

[Electronic M]

In the late 40s Stromberg Carlson was rebadging Dumont RA-103 chassis into the TV-10 and TV-12. I've put my TV-10 chassis next to my old RA-103 and they were identical aside from parts numbering.

The TV-10 used a 10BP4, a wood spacer between the chassis and CRT and an inner mask to shrink the cabinet opening but was otherwise IDENTICAL to the TV-12 that used a 12BP4.

It probably is a 16" CRT. I'd probably just measure it in your shoes.

Be glad your transformer repairs were not as backwards as a Predicta I did this fall....they had the primary and secondary swapped and I was close to pulling my hair out trying to find the circuit problem before I noticed....then I had a similar problem in the sets tuner because the 2 tubes were in each other's sockets and the service literature had it backwards too.... Horizontal was also mirrored so when I first rewired the vertical transformer I had an upside down mirrored image.

Thanks for the replies. I had initially thought the same thing from the mask. Until I remembered that Bob Andersen posted about the exact same set some time ago. I found that thread and he definitely said his set has a 19AP4, and his set has the same mask as well. "Inside the cabinet" photos of both his set and the one I am working on look like they have the same size CRT too. If you look towards the front at the mounts and distance from CRT sides to edges of cabinet they look the same. But a 3 inch difference can be almost impossible to identify by these pictures.

Thanks for the further info about the SC sets and the Dumont sets. I bet this is a 16AP4, after hearing that things like this were done back then originally. I will just pop it out and measure it to be sure. Thanks.
