There was kind of an estate sale there ~ mid 90's. I got there late but there still were many mint B&W roundies, brochures, magazines, trade journals. Makes me wonder what I missed out on---could have been Predicta's, early color ? The guy seemed to have had a keen eye for saving & amassing significant TV's,

Are you still looking for this type of set. I have one that was my in-laws TV. It was a working set the last time I fired it up. It is a hybrid set. I think it uses 4 tubes and the rest is solid state. If my memory is correct, it is a '72 model. It is a 25" consolet. That is a table model type set with detachable legs.
If this is of any interest to you just let me know. The set is located in El Paso, TX

I have the set in storage.
I will have to find just where in the storage it is and then take some photos.
Give me a little time as I have a lot on my plate right now.
Thanks

I would like to acquire one for my collection, Don't think I have seen one
on Ebay either, Somebody out there possibly can provide a lead or has one to sell. Thanks
I sold one about this time last year and havent seen another one since

I hated the works in a drawer chassis! We did not carry modules so only effected component level repair. Most of the time I would have to shop the entire set since all of the components were not in the drawer. They always consumed half a can of TF and silicone to correct the intermittent connections. UGGG If I never see one a gain it will be to soon.

The owner of the TV shop I worked for around 1980 kept modules on hand all the time for Quasars. If we got low on repairs, we all would rebuild modules. Usually, on the video module, it was resistors that had changed values. The key in all of this was tagging the defective module with its problem written out so that months later, we could know where to start.

We had a junked set that we used to test modules. Had a dim CRT, but looked good in a dark room.

My specialty was vertical modules, and the FA modules.

Same here, Doog. The thing is, we did carry the modules in the truck, but often had to shop the set anyway when the modules wouldn't fix it. Hated those first-generation Quasars, though the later hybrids weren't as bad.
