    Sup guys, I am getting TV sets to the brink!

    I am getting a lot of old TVs, but my oldest set is a 1962 HMV P1, my oldest working black and white set is a late 60s early 70s AWA P5Y! And I am getting my HMV TRENT TV restored by a mate of mine, and there's only a few issues to repair a sound issue, and some horizontal and vertical issues, and then it will be fully working and it will be put on its original legs and then hooked up to a DVD player via an RF modulator, playing classic TV shows , can anyone send me a tube based chassis colour Zenith, I hate paying shipping to it though since I like them free and low cost shipping, and make sure it's either a portable or a tabletop since console sets are costly to ship, and I don't mind having the chassis and the CRT in a nice cabinet to have in my collection, I was just wondering if anyone can convert one to 240v 50Hz PAL for me?

    Yes, he is. Been awhile, Kid.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    He most certainly is serious, read some of his old threads. He really likes his vintage tv's.

    Good to have you back, Mike.

    ps Have you considered branching out into Ham radio? Lots of vintage tube(different kind of tubes, not picture tube) radios and lots of people involved and plenty of help available. Here's link to a site with lots of info http://www.eham.net/ Mike.

    TPAK2. Could you find any Gold parts & get pics of them?

    The, Gold plated wire Transistors, Gold plated channel bars (or the flat ones) that are inside the channel changers - along with the gold plated 'Star' that connects to the ends of the bars. Any other Gold parts.

    I have only scrapped 3 B&W TV's in the last year or two & don't expect to find any more.
