Hello, I just joined. I'm posting a picture of my Automatic 712 with 7 inch screen. I have about 35 TV sets. I have only heard of one other Automatic 712 and the other one supposedly has a built in bubble like the Automatic tabletop.

Welcome to AK, pal ! LOVE yr Automatic ! That is one sweet-lookin' set ! Does she work ? Would love to see more of yr collection-don't be shy-we like 'em all here. I've got a bakelite Admiral 7" from '48-49, a Pilot 3" from '47, & a Zenith roundie color from '65, along w/a BUNCH of the teeny-tiny 1.5" & 2" Japanese sets from the '80s.-Sandy G.

Welcome! That's a nice set, I've never seen a 7" console before, they probably didn't make very many of those. If you spent a lot of money on a console, you would probably want a bigger screen.

The automatic set is not restored to working condition. I have another 7" console, a Majestic with radio, television and record player. There are more of those out there but not sure how many. Auman Museum and Early Televison Foundation also have the Majestic console.

Welcome to AK :D

Wow, that is a really unique set! I've seen pictures of their 7" tabletops but never this one.

The control layout looks a lot like a Teletone, aany chance we could get a chassis picture?

Yep, that looks like a teletone chassis.

The Majestic is really cool, little tiny screen, great big cabinet, gives it a pre-war look :thmbsp:
