Beautiful - RCA Victor 621TS
 

This just in...

A 621TS in Walnut. Serial Number C 003539. Complete, except for the brass channel dial.

With an NOS GL-4592 aluminized crt. Sealed in the box.:smoke:

Found the brass dial.:smoke:

Nice - thought you had one already.

Appears unrestored. All RCA tubes. Haven't tested the CRT yet.

I did. Couldn't pass this one up.:smoke:

Very nice cabinet condition! Can't say much good about your camera, however! :)

I know. It's my cellphone.

The pictures don't do it justice.

Took a peek inside. The RCA tubes have codes on them like: 6-30, 6-24, 6-29, etc.

Are they original 1946 tubes?:smoke:

Yes, mid 1946 date codes.

Looks like you died and went to heaven.....

I might just get into a set like that more than a CT-100......

I will do my very best restoration on this chassis. Restuff all caps so it appears "ex-factory."

I'm tempted to pull all the factory tubes and record their original locations. Perhaps put them aside and swap in new tubes.

So, based on the tube's date codes, we can assume a third quarter 1946 assembly date?:smoke:

So you think that is a low hour set, or NOS never really used....?

The chassis is covered in dust. No rodent activity.

I'm going to pull the chassis and document it thoroughly. :smoke:

It appears completely original.

The Tuner tubes are dated 3-43. The earliest 1946 tubes are dated 6-17. The 5U4 is missing.

The cad plated chassis is well preserved under all that dust.

All caps and resistors appear ex-factory. :smoke:

Using a soft brush, I swept aside a small section of dust from the top of the chassis. You can see thr cad plating is very nice.:smoke:

The 7DP4 appears origional to the set.

The black socket is marked MADE IN USA 043.

This is fun...
