Nothing came close back then but Sony charged dearly for the privilege.

Did GE feel any shame at all for selling the Porta-Color during the same era?
I remember the emmy.... They used it in their ads......

I was wondering if a solid state rectifier stick replacement could be used in these?

If the reverse breakdown voltage and forward current ratings of the stick are the same or higher than that of the tube, then I see no reason why it would not work....Though the tubes are probably cheaper and more plentiful these days.

A photo of the HV tube in this model.

The corners are indeed sharp. This set is a later production model. It has the "cheese grater" style speaker grill. The original had the flat metal with round holes. Beautiful set.

Thanks Robb for showing this Sony.She looks beautiful right out of the box from the store.I have that set here somewhere in my basement or in the garage .I think my set still works.I used it in old my apartment kitchen for years.




I have to say I enjoy your threads of your mint condition TV's on here and ARF forum .

By the time I get my sets.They are well used and trashed.

You could rent your collection out to Hollywood as props for old movie or TV show scenes.

Yes I agree 100 percent.They probably trash it on the set or it will get trashed in shipping on the way there or back home.

They made a solid state plug-in replacement, HV rectifier.
I used them when the HV rectifier filament winding would arc through. I just cut away the winding and taped it up. Then I used a SS replacement.

That's the thing....IIRC, even in '69, you STILL had to get somebody out to yr house & "Set Up" yr new color set for you.. The Sony, you brought it home, plugged it in, hooked up an antenna or cable, & you were Good to Go...Of course, the appliance store dealer made up on the service call DOUBLE what he'd "Given back" to you on the GREAT deal he gave you when you bought the damn TV in the 1st place.. I also remember how dreadfully "Cheap & Nasty" American consumer goods were getting about this time.. Plastiwood & fibreboard cabinets, except on the very "TOTL" stuff, "Carnival grade" plastic buttons & fitments, the whole business of being built DOWN to a price, instead of "Up to a Standard". The SAD fact of the matter was, Sony had a superior product, in many respects, & the American consumer electronics industry got caught being flatfooted.... Christamighty, WE developed Television-For the most part, anyway, & UNQUESTIONABLY developed COLOR TV, & we let it get taken away from us...But we have only ourselves to blame...

I wish Sony stayed focused on their electronics products then buying out interests in the Hollywood entertainment industry.

I know that you prefer sets from 1950 and before, but I wouldn't say quality was *that* bad just after 1969. Even my Zenith has parts like that, but that set is by no means junk.

I dunno, man.... If a 12-yr-old boy like Moi could notice the drop in PERCEIVED quality, I'm SURE the Adults who actually BOUGHT STUFF could as well...And THEY could remember when ALL our stuff was made "Ship-Shape"...
