1955 zenith
i just pick up a 1955 zenith model r 2360 ru , the tv is in perfect shape ,nothing missing or frankensteined ,it's like it was put in a time capsole all it needs is recapped maybe a picture tube not sure yet ,i don't no if it was factory or not but it has a glass protector on top cut to fit.
 i just got the schematic ,so i will probley start recapping and take my time going through everything this weekend,if i dont get side tracked . WELL in stead of starting a new post on this tv ill just reuse the orginal back when i picked up this zenith, i started on it this monday after sitting around allmost a year , i just got finished recaping and repairing some other things ,like remake the yoke housing it fell apart. but it turned pretty good i havent aligined anything yet just by eye its got nice sharp pickure camera dosent show it that well but this really turned nice.

no that's the first thing i checked,i wish it was. if i need a picture tube do you know anyone who might have one ,i tested it but i dont realy trust my b k 467, i got to go through that to and make sure it's working right.

21zp4b even if it show's up weak i probley will put a new in it ,ill keep as a spare ,i like watching the old black white twilight zone on these older set's they go together nicely i have complete collection. can't believe that's how i bought it off craigslist the owner kept on trying to plug it in to show me the lines on the screan until i took cord out his hand ,ask him stop doing that. i already found 5 short and weak tube's .

People cant resist plugging old sets in. I bought a very nice 1954 RCA set and of course they plugged it in and left it on!!! Wouldn't you know it, A blown up 5U4 and a possible transformer open winding. AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!!

Yes, cataracts can be fixed and that has often been discussed in the Early Color Television forum. Here is one recent discussion:

is that just glass without any baked on coating,because if is just pure glass has anyone tryed soaking the face of the tube in pure mineral spirits for day or so that pva compond looks a form of r v t silicone and mineral spirits will dissolve silicone nicely, doug on his video said he used carb&choke cleaner to clean the residue off the picture tube.but if there is any other coating on that glass the solvent will make it cloudy. but if that will work temp. is no longer a issue. anyone got a old bad tube to experiment with ha ha
