When Is A Restoration Really A Restoration?
#24

Thanks so much for sending that photo of the back "calmark". I enjoyed reading about how you found it too! I used to have great finds like that but seems today that all I do is spend top dollar. I once found TWO of the rarest GE pre-war TVs in the basement of an old TV repairman's shop. One I gave to a friend (table top version) just for getting my console to work. Eventually I sold the console for a whopping 8,000 dollars and a large original Victor Nipper with glass eyes to boot!

OH MY---I knew things were going too good. My restorer just called and told me one of the two tweeters has a shorted coil. Chances of finding another are nil. What do you guys recommend? I think I read that some people can re-do them? In the meantime he is putting in a temporary modern tweeter. I've been trying to get him to do that capacitor modification too which people her on the Phorum say improve the sound and volume.
