" E " waste find

[bluenorm]

the instant on keeps the crt on at low voltage, thus you do not have to wait to long for the set to come on.I was the first in the my school having your own color tv. three guns picture tube, nice color. my mother told me that the picture went green and dim, and she put it the garbage with out telling me.

radio nut are you coming to NYC any time soon? lets make a deal!

[radio nut]

Interested in this set huh ?

[bgadow]

I have a Sears and a couple Wards smallscreen color sets from that era and they are unimpressive, not as good a picture as a Portacolor in my opinion. But this one looks a step up from what I have and might be alright. A good save, no matter what.

One thing I thought was neat is the hue is a slider control and the rest normal rotary pots.

This really belongs in the square forum, not to be picky but it's too 'new' to be considered early color.

[radio nut]

Once I get it, I will start new thread there. I realized too late where it should be.

Don't worry about it, one of the mods will probably see this and move it for you.

At your service.

These off brand table sets (especially the rebadged imports) are VERY rare. Had that shown it's self here in WI for that price I'd have a hard time leaving the store without it even if the picture was too dim to watch.

ok, so its a good risk, monday it will be mine !

[radio nut]

Ok, Got the set and put it on a variac and powered it up slowly.

In my town we have two stations that still broadcast analog. picked up both but not crystal clear.

So far all of the tubes I have checked are sears and good except for the high voltage rectifier which was solid state.

The crt tests good no shorts/gas at blue 800 green 800 red 780.

The brightness is all the way up but witha good crt I am not worried. I will get a sams now and go to work.

What is the "killer" adjustment for?

[radio nut]

this is a picture taken from my phone and then retaken on a camera just to show I did get a picture on the set.

I was equally happy that it came up "locked"the first time.
yes the quality of this pic is crap!

See yr in Lima...Ever get down to Fair much ?

[radio nut]

That is where I variac'd the set.
I used to work there as a second job. after I quit officially working there I used to go in and fix tube testers or do manual labor to help out.

because of that the owner is allowing me to use extra shop space to calibrate my capehart radio and bring the tv in to tear apart and check tubes and small things like that.
