Managed to find this 1976 Toshiba Blackstripe C355C 13" Color TV.
I Bought it at an estate sale in February 2014. I already have a mint red cabinet of this same set, but I said what the heck ! Too rare to pass up !
It is in real nice shape, a bit yellowed ontop because the owner had a 1980's Samsung cable box on it (which I took as well)
The set also came with the pedestal and owners manual.
Here's a few pics and video.

That's a really good TV. Probably has the blackstripe crt#370AUB22 which had a nice high-contrast picture.
Also, the chassis might be the modular type with vertically-oriented daughterboards mounted on the main circuitboard. Reliable set.

Here's the vintage Samsung cable converter box I got with it.
Anyone know the year of manufacture of it ?
I cant find any info.

I think they came in yellow too ! Someone with an Avanti
cleaned the yellowed pedistal. Dont remember what he used
but worked fine. Trouble is where do you stop without
making it look worse.....
