Hey Chad thanks for that info. Looking through old H. Sams catalogs I see some very obscure brands. Catalina was among them.
As much as it hurts to admit, me and my buddies have destroyed many sets which naturally includes imploding the " kine " . Once we did an -85 Sylvania Superset tabletop (n.a.p.) and the front glass literally expelled towards us after throwing a cinderblock through the screen. lucky we were at a small distance with the video cam Would I do it again? nah. that set had a decent pic still. Stupid. But yeah it takes a considerable striking force to break the screen on a crt. |

From what you describe, that sounds like a WG built set. It should be fully modular; yet, still uses some tubes. That same set was also sold under the Truetone, Bradford, and other house brands.
I think the newest photofact that I've seen on a tube set was from '77 and was on a 12" Sanyo B&W. |

I love that ad. Get your color TV, four new tires, and a shotgun too!

Living in Texas, I have an early to mid 1970s Catalina portable color set. This one is solid state and I think made in Japan. Other than a somewhat weak red gun and dirty switch contacts(on the auto color switch), it works ok. I think I also have an earlier 19" tube type black and white set. I have not worked on it yet.
