Emerson 7 inch TV



The Emerson set in this picture was in fairly good shape when I got it. After replacing whatever was needed, I sat down and watched Spike Jones on it. Of course, it was on video tape. Like most old TV sets, the original knobs were missing.

The other Emerson (not pictured) set was in awful shape when I got it. I traced out the schematic and the layout before working on it. It had sat in someone's damp cellar for a while, and the cabinet was ruined. On top of that, one whole corner of the chassis was rusted out, so I stripped off all the components, including the tube sockets, and wire brushed it. After putting it all back together again, it worked fine, and it still works. Still looks pretty bad, though.
