Hello from Idaho!
Been lurking here since spring when I ran across bandersen's Ge 21c2465 thread.
Usually just an old car and tools guy but when I see a masterpiece like a 1957 GE Coaxial TV I just gotta have it. Found mine in a local Antiques store. Need to clean it up and post better pictures but here is a picture from when I got it last spring. Yesterday my 74 year old mother noticed my TV in a commercial. It's for a toy company that was started by a women who is an engineer and is making toys that will increase young girls interest in physics. Pretty cool... http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor...to_pursue.html |

Welcome! Nice find! Those Coaxial consoles from the late 50's were about as far out as GE ever got style-wise, but they're still nice looking sets.

Looks Great and bright! With my favorite handymen are on as well. Welcome to the TV funhouse!
Its a miracle if thats not a replacement CRT, the one in my coaxial is pretty dead as most others ive found.

The CRT may be a replacement. Here is a picture of the tag on it.
Meanwhile this morning I found the TV in a new music video by Avicii. The singer is Dan Tyminski, who was the voice of The Soggy Bottom Boys from O Brother Where Art Thou. Bandersen seems to have a pretty big following in the video production community! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Cp6mKbRTQY |
