Rembrandt FE852

I got a couple of very heavy boxes from Deutschland yesterday. After much sweating and heavy breathing I managed to get them into the basement. I didn't have much time to get the thing completely reassembled, cleaned, polished, and ready to display, but I thought I'd share some photos of it here anyway as I'm too excited to keep it to myself. I'll post some better shots when I'm done putting it back together. I'm pretty happy to have my first German television .

Hi John!

Congratulations to your new family member.
This set will make you a sportsman!

It is an older set with a "modern" tuner. The East Germans wanted to make
me believe that this set is an east german construction, after I showed them
that the T-2 Leningrad is not an east german construction.
But this set is a russian construction, too!
It was one year earlier on the russian market than on the east-german!
The same chassis construction was in use with pre- and following russian TVs.
I own a russian "Ecran" with a similiar construction.
The power transformers are common russian styled, not typical east german.
But the East Germans doesn`t like to hear this........
A pride problem you see all over the world.

Do you need a fat manual of this set for free by email?
The crate was perfectly done, thank God for this great service!

My brother owns the same set, we smuggled it out of East Germany one year before
the wall came down.
It was the first Rembrandt in the west. But this is another story...........

Good luck!

The red rubber belongs between CRT and bracket!

You are very brave to have a vintage TV shipped across the ocean... and lucky that it arrived in one piece! I get nervous every time I buy a TV and have to wait it be transported by truck from one state to other! I think probably I would never have the guts to buy a TV from another country! Congratulations!

It is a nail biting ordeal to wait for a television to make its journey across thousands of miles. I was impressed by the packaging the seller put together for this set. This is the third television I have bought from overseas. Two of the sets (including this one) arrived in perfect condition, the third was damaged in shipping but it was repairable.

Hi John

Out of curiosity, what would be the approx cost to have a set shipped from Germany to the States. I have looked at sets on ebay.de and .co.uk, but just found the shipping too expensive. Freight forwarders would be cosiderably cheaper than a courier company, but the delivery time would probably be upwards to a month I'm guessing.

Here's another on ebay.de right now http://www.ebay.de/itm/Fernseher-Rem...YAAOSwHoFXud~9

Just curious,

Ross

Ross-

If you're considering a Rembrandt I can give you the contact info of the fellow who sold me mine. He's a dealer who sells and ships radios all over the world. I'm sure he can find another Rembrandt for you, the are relatively plentiful and inexpensive in Germany. Mine was shipped with DHL (which is the German post office). Once the set arrived in the US it was handed over to the USPS for final delivery. Transit time was two and a half weeks. Shipping cost was 200 Euro which I thought was pretty reasonable. I bought a console set from Michael Bennett-Levy in the UK and it was air shipped to me which cost over $1,000 but he paid for the shipping. It really depends on the size/weight and shipping method but that gives you a price range. Those two countries are very easy to get televisions from...just don't go down the rabbit hole and try to get a set out of Russia.

I finally put the Rembrandt together completely this weekend with my little helper. Here's a video of Alex unwrapping the "presents" https://youtu.be/CToeqpetHcA. Then we used the "map" and put the tubes in their "home."

It is great to have a young interested helper!
Just if it is a family member who doesn`t talk our collections down!
Explaining children the (TV-)world is a lovely task.

Please add the coating on the tube on places where it is missing.
All coatings of the east are bad, how gray are your hands?
