Most of my sets are in my mother's basement, in another city. The sets I posted in the gallery (except two, I'll get to that later) are recent finds. I have a 2 bedroom apartment. The living room is large enough for my smaller sets (the Silvertone combo will stay in Warren until I can buy a house (fat chance of that). If I arrange things just right, I could have room for my entire collection, plus audio rack system (HH Scott tube amp).
Currently on the bench (table) is a 17" Sylvania 17P12 series.
After bringing it up, the filters and voltage doubler were warm. I replaced the evil selenium diodes before I did anything else. I'll order caps this week.
My after Thanksgiving set will be my RCA CTC-16. The cabinet isn't the greatest, but will still make a nice display when done and working. It has an original RCA CRT without cataracts and with good emission.
My goal is to get at least three sets done before the company Christmas party. I hope to display them there.
As far as sets I didn't post pics of go, I forgot to make a vidcap of the Sylvania. The cabinet is metal and the paint is in good shape. The name badge and tuner knob are gone, and the antenna assambly is broken beyond repair. I have a Philco 12" roundie which I bought at an antique flea market in Columbus. Some idiot broke the CRT. After the vendor figured out a TV with a broken CRT would not go for $45, they finally took 20 off the price and I gave it a new home. This will be started sometime next year. I need to find a 12LP4.
As far as the worst case senario goes (someone accusing me of running a TV shop out of my apartment, they better have evidence and be ready to show me. If they don't, they get nice bad publicity (I'll go to the media and my attorney). There are other ways around it, and hopefully nothing will happen.
