Larry, could you spare one of those chassis for me? I have a 9T246 needing parts, including a couple of petentiometers.
Also need a rebuildable replacement chassis for a model T-120. UPS totaled the already highly dammaged chassis.
Thanks.

I have one too. Like bgadow I mean to restore mine, but not while it's warm outside.

It's dusty, makes the photo look a little rough. A lot of dust between the CRT and faceplate too.
It's in better condition, in person.

Your channel selector will look like this:

It's the same size/style as the others, just with a flat brass plate bisecting it.
Maybe another AKer will recognize it. The numbers are on a plastic ring
behind the knob, not part of the knob. You'll need one-o-those too.

I have one spare knob. It's not a matching brown. It's the color of the
original brown M&M -- a bit lighter than milk chocolate. The knobs on the set
are very dark brown, like Hershey's Dark.

I guess I could part with it, but I don't think you'd like the color mismatch.
Keep looking first. If no luck at all, it might do temporarily.

Thanks for the great pics Kbmuri didn't know the channel selector ring was separate. Is the on/off volume knob the same as the two center knobs? Sure looks like it in the pics. I don't think we have dealt in the past Grimmer, but if you decide to part the set out we sure can now. The two center knobs on my set are dark brown almost a black.Thanks for all the help. The help here is unreal.

I may have that channel selector knob. Let me dig around tonight.

bgadow · #21 10-07-2008, 11:59 AM

I know I have a whole bag full of the smaller knobs; I have seen a couple shaft variations. I need to dig them out.

The channel number plate was widely used by RCA and several others. It's held on from the inside with a spring clip. They are prone to breaking.

kbmuri · #22 10-07-2008, 12:15 PM

Yes, the on/off knob is identical to the center two (unless the shaft diameters vary). The channel selecter is also the same, except for the brass plate bisecting it -- a person could probably manufacture that if he couldn't find one original. I hope somebody can get you the very dark brown replacements. Like I said, my light-brown one is up for grabs as a "last resort" if you "must".

Lot of good pics here thats for sure. Grimmer it looks like you have what i need. If you decide to sell the set or part it out,I would sure like to have it. Like i said, all i need is a knob set and back panel. Sure appreciate all the help i get here.

Added more pics that you can see the knobs and shafts better.

Thanks,
Don

And I have been looking for one of those Channel Indicator rings..my 9T246 is missing that...anyone have an extra?

kbmuri · #29 10-11-2008, 02:20 PM

The left two knobs (Vertical/Horizontal and Brightness/Picture) are two-piece knobs (the outer ring and inner knob turn independently). The third knob (Off-Sound) is a one-piece casting (outer ring and inner knob do not turn independently). The light-brown spare knob I have is one-piece casting (will only work as an Off-Sound knob).

Astounding...There is a double-1st cousin to the TV pictured above on You-Know-Where right now, looks to have a 16" CRT, & the seller has it listed as a "1930" model TV...As I keep saying, People who DON'T know about & love these things like WE do really have NO BUSINESS having them...
