Emerson tv set...my first

Here is some pictures of my new tv... Comments anyone?

Certainly is a cute TV. I like the 7" televisions. I have a Motorola VT-71 (or 73, can't remember ) and I hope to get it to the bench soon. Don't know if the CRT is good. Wish me luck!

I do like that model motorola Be sure to post us some pictures! I'll be waiting Wish you luck as far as the 7jpy? goes...


All the best,
Robert

Hello Robert
thats nice Emerson tv what I have in my collection far as sets go is 2 RCA 8T241's and Philco 51PT1207 12in bakelite and Ge 21 b/w console from `1957 in original working order I picked up from a customers house where the ladies mother was still using the set in her family room I also have few early Sony portables to.
sincerely Radio Rich
P.S. that emerson looks really clean and un touched]

your so lucky to have a tv like that maybe someday ill get one also

So, have you had a chance to work on that TV yet? It is rather complicated. And, I hope the 7JP4 is good. They are scarce...

I like the smell of selenium rectifiers in the morning.....
It smells like........ old tv.

So, do we have fierce debate on this forum about:

To replace the selenium, or to not replace the selenium? I will stick my neck out. I replace them because I don't care to deal with it later....

I think that it might be best to stuff the selenium rectifier with
a 1N4007. That will keep it looking original.

Your Not useing that Blow Torch for soldering are ya Robert> I certinally Hope Not.

actually yes lol. my soldering gun decided to melt down on me so i got out the old copper and I'm stuck with that untill i get some money for a new gun in a few weeks lol

Robert

ps, I'm FINALLY ordering caps for it soon. I can't get a decent deal in canada and shipping is expensive..... sometime i wish i lived in the states

So Dude, what's the status of this TV? I suspect you may have made progress...

Hello Oldsmobile Man,
Well sometime I feel like living in Canada I know widow that lives in lives in Calagary
that talked before it would be nice to have someone around the place to help
Sincerely Rich

Robert, your TV has tons of caps... wow... I'd hate to have to replace all of those. I think I better just stick to restoring record players and small radios.
