1979 Panasonic TR-201C B&W TV
Picked up this Panasonic TR-201C B&W TV at an estate sale today.
Works perfect and the case is in near mint condition too. Afrer a quick polish and clean, looks like new ! It's made in Korea. I'm surprised back then Panasonic made TV's in Korea. I guess to save cost, the black and whites were made there ? some pics

I found one just like that or very similar not too long ago, it had a bad CRT and was in such rotten cosmetic shape I wound up giving it back to the thrift store.

Those were a workhorse chassis. We had a diner across the street from the shop that had one of those in the kitchen - greasy cabinet, stayed on one channel all the time, and the only repair in about 8 years was a corroded horizontal oscillator coil winding . One drop of solder to fix it, and she plugged on until the diner changed hands in 2004. Almost 25 years of use in a not-so-friendly environment, and it performed solidly.
I'm assuming the "C" suffix = Canada? Cheers,

No U/L approval on it either, just CSA, which was stricter.

Underweighter's Laboratory they certify the safety of consumer goods.
I think I've driven past their Illinois location before. Perhaps the funniest thing about them is that they put their approval stamp on some hot chassis tube radios.

Probably the best 12" B&W of its era. Always a pleasure to
work on & ran nice when done. There is a list of T125 chassii listed in Sams so no problem if ever needed. Only thing I remember were shorted rectifires anyhows......... 73 Zeno |
