Where did you find that speaker chart? Ive not been able to find it thanks Bruce

I would take so many of those free tv's

Bob, I would have loved to been there! I’m from Vancouver, Canada and not aware of any meets like this. So many nice sets and some stuff free? Wow!! Good luck with your new finds!

Thanks Bob for the video showing some of the highlights of the museum sales, very interesting! The 1950 and prior TVs I find the most interesting so, wish I could have been there. The museum is 961 miles from my location and my body is no longer up to those cross country drives. I'm glad you were able to score some good stuff, particularly the knobs, which are always challenging to find the originals. Pomona Electronics sells some high quality test leads but, with banana plug ends but, they do sell Pin Tip Plugs to Banana adapters. I guess I must be getting old, all the meters I ever used were analog VOMs and VTVMs and most of the VOMs used Pin Tip Plugs. I did finally get to use a digital voltmeter for the first time in 1978 in the military. Digital voltmeters did exist in the 1960's, HP had them for $5,000+.

Great score, Bob, hey, I Acquired from my radio club, last month a real jewel. 1950 Zenith porthole console , in mahogany, the First Zenith TV, in the Pittsburgh metro area. I donated a 1926 Atwater Kent, model 31, in a pooley cabinet with battery eliminator, and scored the Zenith porthole. It's a beauty, was never sold, and set in the Dealership, in Rochester Pa, since new. I can send pics, if you wish. Beautiful set, complete,and unmolested.

Do you know if there any swap meets in the pacifie northwest?

You should get that test jig for shango !

watch the copyright dude youtube will "shatter you "I hear voices " that could explain things LOL

Nice Bob !

Those 7" Philco bakelite sets are one of my favorite 7" sets...

I have made some hifi amplifiers that use horizontal output tubes as finals. You would be surprised how well they work in audio. I am currently trying a set of 6CD6 in one design. But I had the best luck with some 12GE5. For output transformers, I am using some industrial transformers that reflect about 3200 ohm load to the tube. They really sound beautiful. And these tubes are only about 5 dollars average on ebay.

That one TV that you walked by that was really thin wasn't that a GE or at one time you had one that looked very similar to that that you sold I've always liked that slim look I think that's a pretty unique looking set😊

Shango would like the test jig I wish I lived close I'd love to go to something like that and donate some radios and other things

Bob you did well getting spare parts never know when you will need them. You're the expert now. You're a lucky guy. I envy you. What a gold mine you found and Hi volt wire is rare somewhat and nice to have. Thanks for sharing your adventure and experience loved watching it felt like I was there or wish I were. thank Mike

I have to finish the projects I have already, certainly need to thin the herd before bringing in anymore new ones. Seems everyone I know seems to find stuff for me, I don't even have to look.

Well now you have a lot of early parts to swap around and a couple worth rebuilding, be interesting to see how it works out.

That is an old Simpson 260, the later ones had standard banana jacks. Surplus Sales of Nebraska sells those pin jacks and DigiKey has the silicon wire for test leads.

Rca TP-66 16mm telecine projector at 1:43.

Great finds!!! Wish I could have come for the swap meet but probably will in the spring.

Bob, the jacks on the Simpson sure look like banana jacks. I’ve never seen a Simpson with any other kind of connector. Is there a way to PM you? Gar Suitor

The Triplet 630 meter i like over the 260. Takes a 30 or so volt battery, but three 9 volts do the trick. 6,000 volts max test.

A lot of fantastic old sets. I wish I could be there. Just sitting here talking to myself about which ones I want.

What's the largest color roundy ever made?

Hi, good video. I remember working on those old sets that lived with heavy smokers. the tar from them was disgusting. my technician friend took a job to repair an old tube set, when he was looking at the horizontal output tube, he found a cheap voltmeter soldered into the cathode. It did have high voltage so I guess that was a good fix. 🤣 Rich

The horizontal output tube is baked. BAKED.

I have the same set Bob. I'm not sure if I will work on it or not. I still have that 1950 Magnavox set a couple of years on my bench and do not think I'll ever get it working.

Strong picture bulb. I wonder if the original owner upgraded to a larger set early in its life and just set this one in a dry storage place. Looks very good for its age.

Looks fantastic Bob! Great to see this beautiful and uncommon SC working again! 🙂🤩

For the gear in the tuner, I wonder if a 3d-printed part would work? You'd need high melting point plastic of course. I "fixed" the mech in an "automatic" oven clock once, that had a gear which appeared to be made of compressed cardboard!

Amazing how something this OLD still comes back to life after all those HARD years. I dare anything made today to last that long.

Great job for an initial couple of hours or so of work so far! Great to see it was untouched in the past under the chassis. Look forward to finding out how you did at the fall swap meet at the ETF Museum, wish I was able to go but once a year in the spring is probably enough traveling for me.

Looking good, I am always amazed when a set sort of works after 50 years asleep, I wonder if it went out of use due to the 5U4's failure?

Seeing the set awaken from it's deep slumber never gets old. The results after your initial re-capping are amazing and getting that melted rubber off just topped it off. 😊👍

The fact that the set still has those two coke bottle 5U4's is so cool. Too bad they're toast

Hey Bob! Any chance we’ll be seeing restoration videos on some of those 21 Predictas that Jim Menning is offering for sale in Wisconsin? I see they showed up on Antique Radios website tonight.
