GE CX roundie

[southernguy]

Ok, I was told I should post this one on here. This is a GE 21' roundie model # M934XWD with a chassis cxz119 or acording to sams photofact its just a CX chassis. Probably an RCA clone. I got this set from an estate sale when I was 14 some 10 years ago. I was happy to find something like this but sadly to say that who ever had it broke the neck of the picture tube and cut parts and wires out of the chassis. The only few things that were still intack was the tuner, speaker, power knob, all the front panal controls, and the flyback. This set had a metal cabnet but, I still liked it anyway. The picture tube that was in the set was a 21CYP22, I could be wrong about that because sams says it should of been a 21FJP22. Also I'm a little confused about exactly how old this set might be nor have I come across a set simular to this one. The Sams photofact says 1964 but it I think its a little older than that with date codes that date to 1960. Look close at the picture. One might wonder how I got this set to work. Would you beleave that this set now has a rectangular tube in it. About 4 years ago I had some modern TV parts lying around after a busy year of repairs at the shop, I thought, well a modern 25 inch tube would fit perfectly in this cabnet. So I proceeded to do so and it did with a few pieces of wood and zip ties. I have used this rigged up set for 4 years now with no issues. Even with the origonal speaker and using a remote control it works just fine. The main problem with the new set inside of the cabnet was that it would never power on/off with the remote or power button to begin with. So I went even futher. I wired up the origional power knob into the new set. It cuts on and off now. Anyway after said all that, I know now where I can get a replacement 21CYP22 tube, only if I could come across a chassis that would make it all work like it should work. Has anybody come across a simular set like this? I still have the flat tinted faceplate panal but since it has modern tube in it I left it out. Just thought I would share this with everybody.
