Heres another SC set. vhf only remote set. I think I grabbed this as a space filler to keep things from rolling around in the truck. I started looking at it today. The crt is DEAD. With 9 volts on the filament I can just get the needle into the red. All metal everything. Made right here in Las Angeles. 19t13

I think that one would be worth finding a CRT for.

[Sandy G]

Uhh-huh...Kinda rare, I'd think...

[jpdylon]

power tranny and 5u4 in a portable with remote?

Yeah, get a CRT for that one.

[ctc17]

Well I would need the remote too. Where would I even start to look for that. I have another set I could use as a crt doner.

I remember stuffing an extra blanket or two in front to protect that channel knob. I'd fix that one up myself.

I think it works a little but dimly: seems they were broadcasting a picture of a guy with a camera?

[ctc17]

I wonder how many hours the set has on it to fade the crt..? 30,000 or something. I guess that wouldnt be hard to do over a period of 10 years.

What number is the CRT?
I have a Setchell Carlson with a new but incorrect tube I'd be willing to donate.
I'll have to check on the number.

19CKP4, anyone have an interchange book?

Edit: completely different pinout

I has the same base though. I sure it could be made to fit but I dont want you to take it out of your set. Something will come up im sure.
