It was the family set in the 60's, the guy I got it from told me he remembered watching the moon landing on that tv and he just couldn't put it out on the curb. He gave it to me instead. I will restore it when I have time. I would like to know it's name though. My field service guide does not list that model number. It is a high hours set I think, so I hope the flyback is good.
Speaking of Moon landings! I still own the set I watch the first moon landing on.
From the 1963 RCA catalogue "The Abbeville". I purchased the set used in
June 1968 and here it is 43 years later. OH, ya just know these are all gone.
