    1948 GE, General Electric model 803 table top 10” channel 1 TV. Nicely styled post-war set with AM-FM tuner. Cosmetics of the all-original, unrestored wood cabinet are good overall, there's some small dings, rubs, scratches and a couple tiny veneer chips. The safety glass has separation in several places, be sure to look at all the pictures below. Comes mostly complete with no high voltage cage cover/shield but does have a reproduction back and an original AC cord/plug.
    The chassis appears to be mostly original with a few recent cap replacements and has all the tubes. I did not test the electronics or any of tubes except the the 10" 10BP4A picture tube. Sencore CR70 picture tube test results: H-K Shorts - Good, G1 Shorts - Good, Cutoff - Bad/Low, Emissions - Good, Life Test - Good.
    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.
    The picture tube may work perfectly or not at all. If you don’t want to take a chance on it, that is fine with me. I will subtract from the final sale price and adjust the shipping costs.
    TV measures 23 1/2” wide, 19 1/2” deep 17 1/2” tall and weighs 85 lbs. The picture tube will be packed in a separate box as when new.
    This is the size and weight of the 2 boxes to be shipped from Seminole, FL 33776. Feel free to check rates to your address.
    Cabinet with chassis, 28” wide, 24” deep, 22” tall, weight 80 lb.
    Picture tube, 14” x 14” x 25”, weight 15  lb.
    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 0.00, total shipping and packaging is 5.
    Don’t want to spend money on packing and shipping? Come get it or send a friend who is passing through or vacationing here. I live in the St. Petersburg area on the west coast of Florida. uShip is always a good alternative too,
