Thanks to all who played-I wish more had participated; maybe next time?
Here are the answers:
1) Name the manufacturer:
This one stumped everyone-it is an Admiral from the early 50s.
2) Who built this UHF converter?
This is a Mallory.
3) Name the manufacturer:
Philco, used from the Predicta up through the early 60s.
4) What chassis does this RCA TV use?
CTC-12
5) What manufacturer used this circuit?
I thought this would stump folks but I think everybody got this right: Zenith
6) Name the manufacturer:
Admiral, 60s.
7) Name the manufacturer:
Late 60s Sylvania.
8) Name the manufacturer:
RCA, starting in the late 60s.
9) Suppose you wanted to purchase a brand new TV to watch the first launch of the Space Shuttle. Of these 10 brands, which 5 could you
not find brand-new that year?
Admiral, General Electric, LG, Motorola, Philco, Proscan, Quasar, Samsung, Silvertone, Teknika
The launch was in 1981; Admiral & Motorola were out of the TV business, Sears had stopped using the Silvertone name, LG was still known as Gold Star and Proscan wouldn't come along for a few more years.
10) Match the manufacturer with the brand:
1-Admiral
2-GE
3-Zenith
4-RCA
5-Philco
6-Sears
a-Chromix
b-Era II
c-Miss America
d-Phonevision
e-Coaxial
f-Eye Witness
1-b: Only one person remembered the Admiral Era II, which may have been their answer to the System III?
2-e: GE Coaxial.
3-d: Most folks knew about the Zenith Phonevision.
4-f: RCA Eye Witness, used in the late 40s.
5-c: Philco Miss America, also well known.
6-a: Most folks mixed up the Sears/Admiral answers. Looks like Chromix may have been Sears answer to Chromacolor?
Again, thanks to all who played. The winner is DavGoodlin who, scary!-just might take me up on my prize offer!
