Hello again VintagePC! Good to see you kicking around! I trust you'll be able to
find a good TV project. As someone else mentioned, a mid-fifties to early sixties 21-incher should be something nice and fairly easy to work on. There were some fairly well built Canadian sets. For instance the one in my avatar is a 1960 Electrohome with a 110-degree (or 114, I would have to check) picture tube (actually purchased by my parents in 1961, and in the family ever since). I also have a similar set (built by the same company but branded Viking and sold by Eaton's) from 1956, with a 90-degree tube. Both are projects awaiting restoration, although the Electrohome still works, but with vertical sweep issues. I am also fortunate to have a spare rebuilt CRT for this set, while the other one has a like-new factory picture tube. I was told by the previous owner that it was last turned on in 1963 for the Kennedy funeral, and was then replaced with a smaller portable set, just sitting in a corner of the living room for over four decades. Maybe you'll be lucky to find something similar not too far from home. As for your earlier radio project, I do have some documentation and I would be happy to discuss with you if it can help. Best regards. |
