View Full Version : XL-100 commercial from 71 Hemingray 03-11-2011, 05:22 PM Found this on the tube, thought it would be neat to share with everyone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_k1ZuEiseg Hemingray 03-11-2011, 05:23 PM Related: RCA Color TV ad from 61: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKqntuJvWEE ctc17 03-11-2011, 06:05 PM I have a ctc7 thats like the one in the second video. I wish I had the remote for it. I hate that side mounted chassis setup. I dont know they ever went to that.

XL-100's were all about "MAD's, MAL's, CRTs, and triplers" we used to say...

Cheers, Actually, the biggest problem I saw was the SCR's in the deflection ckts. ctc17 03-11-2011, 09:40 PM I have a ctc68 packed away I have never even turned on. This tread is making me want to pull it out and play with it for some reason. I grew up in front of an XL100, the finest set we ever owned. Only had one diode fail in the power supply during the life of the crt. Thats the set that got me into tv sets sampson159 03-12-2011, 07:46 AM my daily watcher is a ctc 68.this is a bare bones set but the picture is amazing.very good sets and it actually has a sharper picture than my zenith chromacolor with a 25vdmp22 crt.close,but the xl100 takes it. magnasonic66 03-13-2011, 06:27 AM Here's my contribution to these excellent ads, Total Automatic Color, by Magnavox, and I now own the French Provincial armoire the woman is opening in the last few moments. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRch65HL2dU |
