RCA T62 is playing.....
#1

So sometime  back I posted some photos of a badly damaged in transport T62, not the tank.

I did manage to get a donor cabinet and with the help of a pal in my club we have done a full recap and check, and voila! Looks better in the final frame.

Sounds pretty good is fairly sensitive. I have only cleaned the case so not too bad, I will likely give it a feed and wax tmrw. Needed a new power cord cord and pilot bulb, and capacitors, it is a transformer driven chassis.

Here is the mess and then the completed set. Only took six years to get around to it!

Beautiful set.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
