Thanks guys... I am very happy with the way it turned out.
The 21FBP was one I had pulled from another set and had it rebuilt about 6 months ago. The CRT that came in the wood cabinet was very weak, and also had several dime-sized chips on the screen. I just chunked it... figured it would be a safety issue trying to rebuilt a chipped tube.
It does have one minor flaw in it that gets annoying... horz retrace lines towards the top. They aren't always there... it seems to depend on which channel i'm watching and also what's on the screen at that moment. On one channel, the retrace lines stretch all the way to the middle of the screen. Sometimes there are just one or two lines, and other times there are none at all. Any suggestions on that?
This set is advertised (or was) featuring
Golden Throat sound. Wow that sounds like hi-end shit! Only difference between this set and a plain metal box set is the speaker. Metal box sets use a round 4" speaker, and the Beauchamp uses an oval 6 x 4 speaker. Probably cost RCA an extra 75 cents for the 6 x 4!
I like this cabinet because it's just a little on the fancy side without being the size of a Dodge 1-ton pick-up!
