New Project...RCA 6-T-65 "Highland"

[kvflyer]

I certainly remember that model set. My uncle had one and Dad had it in our basement for months, working on it. Of course, I don't remember much because I was probably only about 10 years old at the time. But one thing that I do remember... that darn metal cone on the CRT!!! I got Dad more than once. We never had a "Test" CRT back then.

I don't think a test CRT would have helped him much unless he built a jig for the yoke. The TV's yoke and focus coil (not needed for the electrostatic 5") are suspended from a strut structure that depends on screwing and anchoring it on the inside of the cabinet.
