RCA 630TS in Skokie

[bandersen]

After several delays, the estate sale finally happened. It will run all day today and tomorrow.




The 630TS was marked at $90 and missing the mask and back. I hunted around in the basement for them, but came up empty. Also, the channel knob is missing a chunk, but otherwise it's in good condition.

I passed on it as I already have one, but I hope someone else can save it.




I poked around in the basement and also found a couple Zenith sets. The console had the back off and and clearly it was being worked on. The CRT plug was pulled off, some tubes were missing and the HV cage was opened up.



There were several tube testers shown in the listing, but all were gone very quickly. Must have been one of the first buyers let in. None of them looked like vintage electronic folks - more like professional estate sale buyers. They'll probably show up on ebay at inflated prices.

Here's what I came home with. An Admiral 20X11 in really good condition, a porthole chassis and some unknown chassis. Also a piece of test equipment just for the nixie tubes

I found the Admiral hiding in the garage. It appears to be in very good condition. All the knobs are there and it has the original masonite back. I used to think these had metal backs like the console version does.

Anyone recognize the chassis in the last picture ?
