1978 Eaton Viking 10" Portable 8761-10C Color CRT
Hi guys,
Just got this 1978 Eaton Viking 10" Portable 8761-10C Television a few days ago from the original owner, for FREE ! It is a thing a beauty ! It also comes with original manuals. I think it is a very rare TV because it was sold by a Canadian Company Eaton's. It is made in Japan as well. PICS: Last edited by Robb; 06-17-2014 at 12:58 PM. |

[QUOTE=Robb;3061464]Hi guys,

They were made by Sharp. Great little set and good find. Most of the Vikings I've seen were Canadian Admirals, B/W of course. |

I believe most of the early Vikings were made by Electrohome. In the color era,
Electrohome production shifted to JVC for a number of years (and the same presumably happened with Eaton's house brand), before going to various other Japanese manufacturers, as this example. Good luck! |

Back in the 1970's I recall Electrohome selling a knock-off the Zenith Avanti white fiberglass consolette (with false walnut trim) colour set north of the border...
