GE: Imagination At Work-1951 Style
Hello, I finally got out of this joke of a town, North Bay for finding TVs and got to Belgrave, Ontatrio and picked up a bunch of TVs including a
1951, yes, a 1951 GE 17-inch console that has doors covering the TV and the speaker grill has bars forming the look of a 12-pane window. It's a retangular-tube. The cabinet is big enough to hold a 21-inch TV. It's presumed non-working and those early retangular GEs are pretty hard to find in any condition from 1951-52. It's also got a black steel back as well. I paid $350 Canadian for it. It's either mahogany or walnut veener over solid wood. Also- RARE RARE- 1955-56 21-inch Marconi console w/swivel base which enitre TV swivels 1956-57 21-Inch Marconi table set in metal cabinet w/faux wood grain finish 1955-56 Westinghouse 21-inch console w/ripped speaker grill cloth -this TV hasn't been used in at least 35 years! 1955-56 Westinghouse 21-inch console-missing knobs -not used in over 35 years either 1957iish Motorola 21-inch table set w/fake leather finish in metal cabinet. See Retangular and Solid State for 2 more TVs I picked up today  Ohhh, it's sooo great to get out of North Bay and get some real TVs:-)

Great to hear that a lot of Canadian made TVs are preserved (I assume that most of
these are are indeed Canadian made) Good luck with your projects!

Yes, most of these TVs are Canadian-made
Yes, most of these are Canadian-made TVs. I did hit a motherlode and I'm going back for more for the next 3-5 years as well. I know my secret Canadian source well-in a small hamlet called Belgrave in Southwestern Ontario well away from Rebuilt Resources where they can't get them, this info I'll never post in public-unless I mention it to people I know who will respect my TVs and my work. That's a lot of TVs in my happy future
I hope Maureen Brazeau dosen't have access to Audiokarma or these forums  It's about a 5-hour drive from North Bay ro Belgrave:-)
