1968 Westinghouse color table set

We had a few of those come through the shop back in the day, all consoles but same chassis. Can't say anything good about 'em so won't say nuthin'.

I owned one of these disasters back in the day and so did my best friend... how's that for a coincidence??? They both performed the same act... when watching the news and the back round color would change, such as the weather map would do, the skin tones went right out the window to blue or green, and if I recall, it depended on what color the back round changed to... we never figured that one out and tried, in vain, on both sets.... YMMV!!!

Westy also made some 60's Penncrest sets - my best friend's family had one. Gemini HV cage, and theirs had 5GH8 tubes in series fashion....

Watchin' from afar....

I repaired and sold an almost identical set, badged Bradford, W.T. Grant.

30KD6 heater current is higher than 40KD6. In series string, the 30' won't get anywhere near hot enough. (Series strings are constant-current, parallel circuits are constant-voltage.)
