Wink RCA Victor KCS 137 portable tv

Picked up this neat toy today. Came with its' original roll cart.
I need some parts, and, schematic for it. See advertising forums.
Just so you'll know, it's in sams 559-2. Can somebody spare one??
Also, John Folsom says cheater cords for our old sets are for sale again. Anyone know where I can buy them? Thanks.

This is an aerly all channel tv with a tube in uhf tuner.
It has all antennas in good shape.
VHF tuner has a nuvister rf tube.

If John Folsom said that, please ask him to share his source with the group.

Bill, unfortunately, I don't have many series string tubes around right now. I did some investigating and I usually use ERSC Vacuum Tubes in Florida. They have many tubes for $1.00 NOS. Shipping has always be at cost, no profit there.

4AU6 $1.00
17BW3 $1.00
4BZ6 $1.00
3AF4 $1.00
10EM7 $3.00
8FQ7 $3.00
17GW6 $5.00 (Horizontal Output)
10JF8 no listing ?
3CW4 no listing ?
4GX6 no listing? (could it be 4GX7?)

Not a lot of money and if the other tubes with no listing are just typos, I would bet that they have them as well, for $1-5.
BTW, the tubes that didn't have a listing ... I looked in a tube database as well and they were not there.



Just a thought.

Interestingly enough I have most of the tubes your TV needs in my Tube Stash at my place, they were inside an old Tube caddy that someone gave me. I believe most of them are NOS and still test good on my Sencore Mighty Mite Emissions Tube Tester.

If you're interested I might be able to dig them out and send them to you.
