I just saw this thread. When I saw "weighs 900 pounds" I started thinking 60s desktop computer. Not that it would have been my guess.

According to the CPI inflation calculator, $30,000 in 1963 is now equal to $232,369.61

Hugh Hefner owned one of these, IIRC.

Who made the TV? The controls look like Packard Bell?

I originally figured these had a CTC 12..but Steve says it is NOT an RCA..maybe an S-C chassis?

It would be interesting to see that in the '63 Christmas catalog.
100# a foot for 900# seems unrealistic. Last edited by reeferman; 02-18-2016 at 05:40 PM. |

900 pounds shipping weight, perhaps?

I would imagine it having multiple power supply chassis. Not to mention how many tubes the thing used. It also has another included feature, a space heater.
