1963 Setchell Carlson color roundie
For anyone who isn't part of the Facebook tv group, here's what I scored yesterday. I traded a 1968 Zenith console color set for this 1963 Setchell Carlson color roundie. We are both very happy with what we ended up with. I'll have to do a full restoration on this. The cabinet is fair and just needs refinishing and a leg made. (I know someone that'll make it for me) and new caps and whatnot on the chassis. Has good RCA crt with no cataract.

That is one cool tv, nice to see something different like that. Would really like to see the underside of the modules looks like it may be point to point wiring like Zenith. Nice score.

That is a very interesting chassis layout, do those modules plug in or are they hardwired? If pugged in that would sure make trouble shooting quick and easy if a shop had all the spares.

The modules plug in, with plug and socket terminal strips along the edges. Remove 1-2 screws, and pull the module straight up. Seems to be a reliable connection method. I have 3 B&W SC sets. should be easy to restore! Cant be too many of these left!

Very cool! This really interested me because a few months ago someone linked me a photo of a b/w setchell carlson for sale and it looks real similar to your color set, just with less knobs. Take a look, they must have reused the knobs and parts. If possible please show more of the chassis and set, it is very neat.
btw: do you have the link to the facebook group, I would like to look into joining it.

Wow! If you ever want to sell it Mark, please let me know.
I've been wanting an S-C color for a while.

Cool ! 100% NOT an RCA clone !?!?! Did they do original design circuits ?
I bet they did, but don't own one, so gotta ask those who know.... .

I remember reading someplace that when SC came out with color sets, RCA engineers were sent to visit SC and find out how SC got a better picture out of RCAs CRT. Might have been in a company publication, I read through the Pavek museum's SC files last time I was up there.

Do the channel numbers light up through the smoked section of the knobs? I have an SC radio like that.
