Very nice, I'm surprised didn't Wells Gardner make wards tv's for them? I suppose it would be a clone aswell, I have a 1968 AMC color made by wells gardener, it has the C3 chassis they also sold to Electrohome. Great quality. Has a Very beefy silicon flyback

Both Sears and Wards had more than one supplier for both domestic and Japanese TVs...They wanted a product at a price point on their shelves and achieved it thru supplier competition.

That makes since, also I have seen a rectangular Curtis Mathes with the ctc15 clone chassis, wouldn't mind one of those if it wasn't giant. When I was in high school the first tv I restored was a 58 Hoffman I found in a abandoned repair mans shop. The owner have me it, actually there was 2, one was in bad shape but has a good tube and the other was mint but necked, it came together great. I watched it for years with no real problem then sold it. So this color set is kinda neat to me cause I admired Hoffman's history, I actually got to meet the 58s owner and learned how they ended up in South Dakota! Next week I'm giving a 67 packard bell a new home so I guess my hoffman will have a California brother so to speak. Thank you both for the info btw

Did that set use a 1B3?

I remember the episode! Most of the B/W sets did.
Motorola was the only one that used 3A3's in their larger screen sets at the time. |

That set looks awfully familiar...

Glad to see it being used, lots more will get new homes this spring. I'd rather have a couple old cars than 50 old tvs...

Hey, I got myself a muntz built airline. It's quite nice! it's got the CTC 15 chassis as well. Thanks for the info. I find it odd how they updated the look from yours to mine so much. The fly in mine is toast and the tube is weak, but I got spares so I'll likely stick a black matrix in it. This one also has that Magnavox cinema controls.

BTW *My* first TV was a '63 Motorola 19" (see avatar) used a 3A3 HV rect and 5U4 on an angle bracket from the power trans, uber-plain gray/silver but w/UHF, sure as heck not one of their lighter models either.

I thought Hoffman once was located in Minnesota like Setchell-Carlson. It was a west-coast brand like P-B, rarely seen here and only because someone brought it when they moved east.
Now its REAL funny Dieseljeep mentions this Hoffman and a Muntz clone with a 25AP22, indeed! I got a Muntz-branded Combo and it was only 10 years old, but a "newer set" to a novice-tech in 11th grade Vo-tech electronics who just learned to use a B&K analyst. The plain walnut cabinet had an AM-FM radio with record player under a lid, area above the escutcheon raised just enough to accommodate them. 6x9 coaxial(?) speakers firing out the sides of this big box, with grills cut into the veneer plywood. I think I have the Sams for it too. Not surprised to hear others praise Muntz in THIS case, it ended up looking very good, I credit RCA CTC12-15-16 experience up to that point, then sold it to a friend whose parents moved into an apartment and had to downsize. Fortunately they had cable at the new place, it was NOT an RCA tuner Im pretty sure. Once I fixed all the PW700/6GU7 wiring and adjusted HV -convergence- Eff coil, not much more work until it was as good as an RCA, often having lurking issues. The tuner was definitely not impressive! Same Standard -Kollsman that Magnavox and GE used with an even cheaper, non-lighted U/V selector knob like so many Sears. I think it had strips, not wafers.
