Majestic 210 restoration

[bandersen]

Here's a set I picked up at the ETF 2022 fall swap meet.
It's a seldom seem Majestic 210 I'm, guessing from 1949.

This cabinet style has a leatherette wrapped cabinet with bakelite front panel.


Lots of unusual features. For example, the AC interlock is at the top of the back. The masonite back is well designed to lock into the base with two pins and secure with screws at the top.


Doggie photo bomb!


That's better.
I believe the flyback is under the metal box on the right. It appeared to be lacking a horizontal output tube until I realized it used an octal 6AV5 beam power tube to drive the flyback.


The little support arm on the anode lead is a nice touch. It will prevent the lead from shorting to the chassis if it comes loose.


At least one original Majestic tube remains.


Oh no! An Ellenbagen Re-Fractor




One of the deadest CRTs I've encountered. Aggressive rejuvination got emissions to about 3 ticks above 0 on my CR-70. Oh well, I have a spare 12LP4 I can use.
