International Bidders are welcome to participate, I am offering eBay’s Global shipping on this listing.


Vintage 1949 Firestone 13-G-33 Portable 7" Table Top TV. Cosmetics of the painted faceplate and black vinyl covered case are very good overall with some small scratches, stains, rubs here and there and most noticeable are the missing antenna, old leather handle and the back. Be sure to see all the photos below including close-up shots. 

 

The complete chassis looks to be mostly all-original with some very old replacement parts/repairs and definitely has some replacement tubes. Cosmetics show surface rust, writing scratches, speaker cone damage, etc. I did not test the electronics or any of tubes but did test the National Union 7JP4 picture tube. Sencore CR70 Test: H-K Shorts - Good, G1 Shorts - Good, Cutoff - Low, Emissions - Good and the Life Test is Good as well. There's a 1" and two 1/4" scratches on the face.


I am selling this TV and all its parts as-is, display only, not working, for parts and repair, no returns. The important thing is the chassis is all there with no known missing electronic parts so it is valuable as a true antique or can be restored if desired.. 

 

TV measures 16 1/4” tall, 9 1/4” wide, and 16 1/4” deep and weighs 24 lb. 

 

Box will measure 21” tall, 14” wide, and 21” deep and weigh 30 lb. when packed.

 

Good, strong packing supplies/boxes including 2” thick hard Styrofoam to line the boxes will cost $20 and FedEx Ground shipping (cheapest/ best handling ground service) will cost $75.00. There is no charge for my packing labor.

 

The pictures below are of the actual vintage TV I am selling.
