Black & White Blowout this week!

[Charlie]

This past week, I accumulated a decent handful of sets... seven in all. The first load was 6 sets... nuttin very special, but still a decent haul. They include...

Sentinel 7"... condition of CRT unknown at this point. Haven't even opened it up. The knobs were missing. I already have two of these... one with a good tube. Hopefully this one will have a good tube as well.

RCA early 50's metal with fake finish... I think it was a 17" set, dont remember, but tested very weak and heating it up a little made no difference.

Setchel Carlson portable... i have one of these already with a woodgrain laminent, so a second one is welcomed. The CRT tested just fine in this one.

Setchel Carlson small console... I really like this set. I think it's a 17"... tester would not light up the heaters, and I noticed the cap of the CRT was quite loose, so I might only need to resolder the pins.... hopefully! It has wood veneer... no fake stuff. I will strip and refinish this set as it's somewhat grungy right now.

GE portable red & white... CRT tested good. Cabinet has some surface rust... should clean up and repaint with good results I think. It actually has all the knobs on it!

Zenith Space Command portable... CRT condition unknown at this time (I didn't have the right adapter for my tester). Insides look pretty good. WOW this is a HEAVY TV! I've never played with one of these early portables and I'm surprised at how it's built like a tank! The remote was included!
