I'm well aware that Templetone Radio Corp. and Automatic Radio, were two different firms. There was never that big of a presence, of those products, in the midwest. The only Automatic products, sold around here are the cheapie, aftermarket radios sold by, some of the shady car dealers. The only Automatic TV I saw in recent years, was one that the Allied Radio store, sold in the mid-60's. It was a 18"color table model, with the long, screw-in legs, similar to the Sears set, of the day. |

I've seen plenty of those during my eBay searches for automotive 8-track decks, I even had one at one time, an under-dash unit.

That's a shame. Serial # 310740 - I wonder how many they really made ? Maybe they started at 300000 ?

That's an interesting question. When I can get to mine, I'll check and see if the serial number is still on it.

I'll stay after him to revive the TV set Covered in about quarter inch of nicotine stain all over the chassis The original OWNERS name was MR HOLMES HOLLAND of Clinton SC He loved my vintage electronic museum idea/concept he would place the set on display For the educational and research purposes he would love to be apart of my museum Concept but finding a big enough building has been a challege The taxes and utility bills and upkeep would be herendous What y'all suggest in this matter of a vintage electronic museum in my area of the COUNRTY my collection is getting large enough to start one!

Since the chassis appears to be made from several riveted or bolted together pieces of steel, this set surely cannot have been massed produced.
His 1947 date seems to be wrong as the tuner has no channel one, so this is a 1948 or later set. 47Plymouth, did you happen to read the model number on the SN decal? Jas Update: I screwed up on the photo identification by mistaking the cardboard cover on the back of the chassis for "several riveted or bolted together pieces of steel." Such is the hazard of using photos . . . . . Last edited by earlyfilm; 01-24-2014 at 06:07 AM. Reason: See update |

There's no model number anywhere not even that label Is only one to be on there I looked with strong flashlight and magnifing glass For evidence of a tube layout on the cabinet sadly didn't find one;could they be one Located on the bottom didn't look there!,I'll call him again to look underneath for a label This set would probably be in Riders tv # 1 or Beitmans tv 1 someone look this set up for me It's got to in one of those service manual coz they wouldn't be too many tv sets when those books We're published Last edited by 47'Plymouth; 01-23-2014 at 07:01 AM.

Did you see this set? I don't see a magnifier. The front of the cabinet is slightly different with the magnifier.
