And sereious injury could result if you stumbled into it . Celt 10-05-2007, 06:12 AM LOL Yep, I posted pics of one of those *things* when I first joined AK. I mistakenly thought it was a Philco product back then. Looks like what George Jetson would have for an entertainment center, doesn't it? bgadow 10-05-2007, 11:21 AM I recently parted out a Kuba console radio about this same age. Very cheaply made compared to other German sets. Among other things, when I went to move it the end of the cabinet fell completely off. I did save the "Kuba" emblems in case somebody needed one for a Komet. fujifrontier 10-05-2007, 09:08 PM i hate that thing, that's one i wouldn't mind turning into a fish tank Geoff Bourquin 10-05-2007, 09:19 PM Wouldn't that make an awesome fishtank?! :banana: :nutz: Sorry, I just couldn't resist EDIT: While I'm wasting time playing with the smilies, Fuji posts the same idea. Maybe I'm not insane after all sampson159 10-05-2007, 09:50 PM etf in hilliard ohio has one of those horrific piles of avante gard . it doesn t work either. when i look at that monstrosity ,i can hear george jetson screaming " help,jane stop this crazy thing!" fsjonsey 10-06-2007, 12:40 AM Am I the only person who loves the way this thing looks? Tube TV 10-06-2007, 01:07 AM Am I the only person who loves the way this thing looks?I think it's OK , but there is somthing telling me that I would stumble over it and that would be the end for me . you would have to have lot's of room for it . Bill R 10-06-2007, 04:05 PM I like it! Just because it looks so insane. I would not pay that much for it though, since it is missing some rather important parts. Bill R Aage 10-06-2007, 09:58 PM I like it! Just because it looks so insane. I would not pay that much for it though, since it is missing some rather important parts. Bill R $3,000 for one that looks like it's been rolled down the stairs? I don't think so, but maybe they are SO rare that... Tube TV 10-06-2007, 10:04 PM If I was going to spend that much money , I would rather invest it in a RCA 621 TS :yes: fujifrontier 10-07-2007, 04:50 PM with EyeWitness picture synchroniser? :D Sandy G 10-07-2007, 04:59 PM Well, it would have been something if it had been a Roundie color set-Even tho they didn't have color TV in Germany then-IIRC-Kuba could have done that for the ones sold here in the States. Or if it even had a larger CRT...But the way it is, it's just so...so... so....BIZARRE...and it doesn't even have the "bulletproof" construction quality, apparently, that postwar German products were/are so justly proud of. fujifrontier 10-07-2007, 09:31 PM bonfire, anyone? Tubejunke 10-08-2007, 12:13 AM Looks like a Zenith to me.... Kiwick 10-14-2007, 03:32 AM $3,000 for one that looks like it's been rolled down the stairs? I don't think so, but maybe they are SO rare that... Well, there are just a dozen surviving kuba komets in the world, it's definitely something worth restoring... Tube TV 10-14-2007, 03:42 AM still 0 bids on this fine unit only a few hours left . |
