Harry's at it again, Westinghouse this time
Ultra Rare 15" Westinghouse on eBay.
Tube is definitely down to air.

Won't be bidding on this one, I still have the prototype to deal with and this Westy has a bad tube.

Andy, au contraire, TV was in Texas in the early fifties. In Beaumont that meant a 50' mast with two yagis, a big one for Channel 2 Houston, and a little one for Channel 11 Galveston. Then in a couple of years Beaumont and Port Arthur got stations.

"color hold", I like that. I wonder if it has color afc or that control just bends the crystal like adjusting the osc coil.

Interesting

Well the ebay pictures tell the story. It's all there. Anyone got a spare, working, 15GP to sweeten the deal? I wonder if Marlin Mackley is still keeping track of these sets? He hasn't updated his site since 2004.

According to the ETF database there are 17 confirmed survivors (including this one) with an unconfirmed 18th and yet another pre-production prototype at the museum.

As us Hillbillies say-"It don't favor much..." (grin) But would I have it, especially if a working 15GP22 could be had ?!? Is New York big ? Pope Catholic ? Sky Blue ? Grass green ? (grin)

This set has no crystal. The color hold control locks the color sync. Once it is set it is fairly stable.

I once said I thought it looked like they used the front panel from one of their clothes dryers to mask the tube.

Lives about 10 miles up the road, I recapped the set and shortly
After replaced a defective on/off switch.that all that was done.I have
Had 2 ct100 over the years and the westy has better picture and
Color. It's unusual color lock works well. I noticed the set that Harry
Posted has a chassis at the bottom also, I do not--- is that an audio
Amp?the set is large and kind of ugly -- but I love it.
