THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
The flashy brass panel on this 1948 General Electric set proudly declares that this is a "Television!" from a time when the very first TVs were appearing in Americans' homes. The golden mahogany cabinet has been beautifully refinished, and has very few defects (just a few nicks in the front edge molding and one small blemish on the right side). The chassis has been fully restored and works as good as new, with a bright, sharp 10 inch picture. GE was first to introduce an aluminized picture tube, so this set's picture is brighter than most other sets from the late 1940s. TV restoration is much more involved than radio repair, and I have many years of experience to do it right. In addition to a full recap, replacement of all out-of-spec components, a brand new power cord, and a complete alignment, I have added a retrace blanking circuit and flyback anti-ringing filter to help this early TV display a very respectable picture that you will enjoy watching. I can advise you how to connect this set to suitable signal sources like a VCR, DVD or Blu-Ray player, or DTV converter box. It's a heavy set to ship, but well worth the cost. 63 lbs. 18-1/4"W x 14"H x 19-1/4"D. |
