Restoration Project #1 1950 GE 16C116

[ketron281989]

Hi guys, I am a new guy to the forum, but a novice to the hobby, I have quite a few radios, and this year, started with the tv's. You are welcome to check out my gallery as I have posted pictures of all the sets I currently own.

Anyhow, I wanted to let you know that I have started on my first TV restoration which is this GE. It is in pretty good shape, I know there was a servicing in 1960 with the addition of a new Philco CRT, just about all Philco tube replacements. The cabinet is in pretty good shape, speaker great, cloth is also very good. I just finished cleaning the chassis, pictures below, I have a B+K CRT tester that I am still figuring how to operate, I have never tested a picture tube before, but I have tested many radio tubes with my Model 68 NRI.

I just wanted to introduce my project and a few pictures, very soon I will have more questions, probably later today as I collect my goals for this set.

Let me know what you think and if you see anything out of the ordinary on the chassis. I appreciate all of you're guidance in completing this restoration which I hope to have done in the coming month, then on to my other sets.

Thanks, Happy New Year

Jon
