Should be the U800 chassis. I have a 50 page factory installation and maintenance manual for this chassis. Has fold out's, so it's a bit of challenge for me to scan. If I can get it to look decent, I'll forward the scans the ETF. This chassis features push pull audio.

that is a cool set. I never saw a Setchell-Carlson in person, so they must be rare in this area of Nebraska. One set I DO remember ( and was wondering if anybody else serviced one) Not as well built as this Setchell looks, but we had a late 60's Truetone on our service route and its whole chassis was modular as well. (even the board with the flyback) Not sure who made it, but I'm thinking Wells Gardner? Anyway.. it was so odd for me to see a set with plug in modules that had tubes on them.

Jim, the two scans I posted today are from a sales brochure.

What a slick TV!
RCA used to tout the "printed copper circuits" over old-fashioned hand-wiring. We all know how that turned out! That tube lineup is certainly RCA in color and sweep section but the tuner, IF, video sync and sound are not. Seems more like Motorola or is it a genuine S-C design ? Thanks Kevin, that specification is priceless. A real poke at RCA if I ever saw one.

I suspect they used RCAs circuit designs for the color and CRT-realted circuits, but they probably adapted existing modules from their B&W TV lines where they could. I have a B&S B&W set that also uses push pull audio. Many SC sets had a record changer optional.

The gold plated tuner contacts and video IF tube complement make me think they borrowed(or got inspiration for) some of their receiver design from Zenith.
I've always liked hand-wired sets better from a maintenance stand point.

Here's the link to the U800 manual that I scanned and Steve put up on the ETF site. The missing page numbers represent blank back sides in the actual manual.

I have seen exactly one of those Setchell Carlson color sets. It was over 30 years ago, and the guy I was working for talked the customer into tossing it. I still remember helping hoist it into the dumpster. I went back after everyone went home and salvaged the cabinet. The cabinet was slightly different than yours. That chassis made a lasting impression. For the last 15 or so years I have thought about how I should have saved the chassis too. I don't remember what came of the CRT but I imagine it was necked. I wanted the cabinet to put my Magnavox T-809 into. I was lucky, there was barely a scratch on the wood when I got it home.
I think I still have the cabinet in storage. I should see if there is a model number inside it somewhere. The Magnavox that lived in it for a while is long gone.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, there was a connection between Setchell Carlson and Ball-Miratel who made color video monitors. Am I imagining this? Ball also made (still makes) glass jars for home canning... Go figure.
