My next restoration victim, Silvertone

[Eric H]

Uh, I mean patient...

A 1957 or 58 Sears Silvertone Portable, 17" I think, model PC 7102R

It's in pretty good shape, knobs have the white mold and there's a bit of rust in the bottom of the cabinet but nothing bad, knobs are soaking in soapy water as I type.

Silvertone sets seem to be another victim of the dust rag, this one, like so many, have bits of the Silvertone Script broken off, this reads more like
Cilver one.

Set powers up to a strong AC hum and a horizontal line across the screen so basically it just needs recapped.

The date code on the CRT is the 30th week of 1957 so I guess this could have been sold in 57 or 58 depending on how quickly it was sold.
The 312 EIA code would mean the CRT was made by Sylvania, it's branded Silvertone however.

There's some red inspection paint on the Ion trap and CRT neck that shows the trap has probably never been removed.
