G'day all.

Been checking out this French TV history site given on the ETF updates page and on this page http://radio-piffret.pagesperso-orange.fr/Histoire_de_la_Television.htm which features the development of television in France there is a roundie colour TV which l believe is likely to be a French made set due to its unusual control panel on the right, I can't read French but I guess from the description the TV is a CFT RS 15.

Anyways thought I'd let you's know of it, I'm interested to know more about this TV so anyone with info on it I look forward to your response.

Looks like they used an RCA sourced CRT bezel, from the CTC-11 era. Lots of makers seemed to utilize that one. Very interesting to see this!

Either it has an undersized CRT or a massive cataract....
