Also a little FYI: The convergence board is on a seperate panel that drops down from the bottom of the set. It has enough wire so you can sit away from the set to see the screen as you make the adjustments. Very convenient! If you need the convergence procedures, let me know.

The convergence board in that is unscrewed from its current position, flipped around and mounted on the two screws along the top of the set. This allows you to see the crt while adjusting it. This is typical of sets, especially RCA and their clones, from the early 60's. I think Zenith was about the most convenient arrangment with the controls behind the speaker.

I looked at your pictures again; your set has a different chassis then mine.

It looks like a CTC12 to me. Is that a 6DQ5 horiz out.
I didn't think Magnavox built a solid state stereo that early. Especially, one that powerful, to drive that speaker system.
Very impressive!

The AstroSonic series came out in late 1962.

Just back from visiting the family over Thanksgiving. The horizontal output is a 6DQ5. The TV chassis is a C39, not sure what the equivalent RCA chassis is. The remote is two button Magnavox Phantom. I just bought a spare remote on the bay.

The CTC12's were the last to use the 6DQ5 tubes and the '15s went to the 6JE6's plus were unique in using a solid state "stick" focus rectifier diode. After that RCA went back to tube rectification.

Saw a 25" combo today. What year did they introduce the "25" ? (actually measures just under 24")

They started with 25" rectangular screens in 1966. In my sales book, there is still one 21" roundie combo listed.

I believe there was some overlap of the roundie and rectangular set as the manufacturers used up all of the remaining stock of round tubes during the transition. At that time, they priced the roundie sets lower. I think you could still buy roundies as late as 1968.

Quite correct re the last roundies, Philco had the 17MT80, Magnavox had the T938. A bit earlier, RCA had the CTC20 and GE had the CB-21.
