International Bidders are welcome to participate, I am offering eBay’s Global shipping on this listing.1949 Firestone model 13-G-3 tabletop 7” TV in mahogany veneer wood cabinet.
This rarely found set is complete with the exception of the AC cord. Cosmetics are fair to good with many scratches/rubs here and there but the veneer is good overall. The picture frame face on the left side lost a thin section vertically. The clear lacquer finish has flaked off over the years but the veneer is good so this wood cabinet could be restored to
look so much better when refinished.
The complete chassis looks to be mostly original with some replacement parts and tubes. I made a lid for the top of the high voltage box out of black anodized shim and also made a cap for the back of the CRT plug out of stiff cardboard mat to replace these missing parts. I did not test the electronics or any of tubes but did test the RCA 7JP4 picture tube. The face of the picture tube has no scratches.
Sencore CR70 Test: H-K Shorts - Good, G1 Shorts - Good, Cutoff - Good, Emissions - Good and the Life Test is Good as well. I can just see a 1/2" round brown spot on the inside face of the picture tube, see close-up below.
I am selling this TV 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 11” tall, 18 1/4” wide, 17” deep and weighs 30 lb.
Box will measure 15” tall, 23” wide, and 22” deep and weigh 36 lb. when packed.
Good, strong packing supplies/boxes including 2” thick hard Styrofoam to line the boxes will cost and FedEx Ground shipping (cheapest/ best handling ground service) will cost .00. There is no charge for my packing labor.
The pictures below are of the actual vintage TV I am selling.
