21 inch Brazilian set from 1957
3 Attachment(s)
My 1957 21 inch Invictus TV. It is missing the back cover. This same model of TV appears in many scenes of the 1957 Brazilian movie "Absolutamente Certo" a film whose plot revolves around a television quiz show.

That's the biggest transformer I have ever seen.

The CRT looks like a 21ALP4. It always seemed strange, that the foreign TV manufacturers didn't use a cover on the CRT socket. Set uses a 5U4 an a few 6SN7's. :thmbsp: |
Toward the end of the CRT era in the US, many TV manufacturers used a printed circuit board integrated with the socket for the CRT with the bare pins for the CRT fully exposed.
I suspect the Brazilian manufacturer left off the shell to facilitate servicing. Sure beats looking under the chassis for the other end of the CRT leads to measure voltages! |
Beautiful set, would ike to have one in my collection!:tresbon:
Regards, TV-collector :stupid: |

Some makers (IIRC I think I've seen this on 60's Zenith B&W sets) put exposed terminals for measurement/soldering purposes on the socket. |
Does it haves Brazilian made compoments?
|
At least more than 50% of the components are Brazilian-made, including the CRT, which was made by Invictus itself.
