19" RCA from my youth

[Eric H]

A similar one at least, not the actual set, like the GE the original RCA got tossed long ago, it had a short life with numerous problems.

My set was Harvest Gold and White, this one is Woodgrain and Black but otherwise it's very similar, front controls are exact but the chassis is slightly different.
For instance, my set had a 38HE7 output tube, this one uses a 22JG6 but overall it's close enough to be nostalgic for me!

I bought this set off eBay some years ago for the price of $1, I gave the seller $20 though because I wanted it to get here in one piece.

The CRT is pretty tired, it took a long time to warm up so I put the Beltron on it, I only had to go as far as Cleaning and it came right up to maximum good reading, how long it will last is anyone's guess.

It works quite well now as-is, it's playing a Laser Disc of the 1930's version of Scarface, the picture is bright and clear.

The Philips LD player is a recent acquisition from GW, it works well but has a problem loading, the laser transport wont lock in place without a little help, I think the loading belt is just worn out since it also opens and closes the drawer and that hangs up too.
