Chassis/electronics were recapped at one time and upon quick test the picture tube lights. Notice there is surface rust on the top side of this chassis. I did not test the electronics or any of tubes except the RCA 12LP4 picture tube that has a loose end cap/plug, the glue has dried out. Sencore CR70 picture tube test results: H-K Shorts - Good, G1 Shorts - Good, Cutoff - Good, Emissions - Good, Life Test - Good. There are a dozen or so very noticeable scratches on the face of this tube.The picture tube may work perfectly or may not at all upon arrival. If you don’t want to take a chance on it, that is fine with me. I will subtract $50 from the final sale price and adjust the shipping costs.
I buy, sell and collect vintage TV’s, I do no electronic restorations/repairs. I am selling this set as pictured, as-is, display only, not working, for parts and repair, no returns. This 70+ year old TV must be looked over, safety checked and repaired/restored by a qualified technician before use. The important thing is the chassis is all there with no known missing electronic parts.
Picture tube measures 12 1/4" in diameter, 19 1/2" tall and weighs 12 lb. Package will measure 17" x 17" x 25" tall and weigh 16 lb.
