I've been watching that one, it's a cool looking set. I don't know if I've ever seen an electrostatic "porthole" set like that before.

It's a re-badged Sentinel.
It has a Zoom button that the Sentinel doesn't and it's a Porthole where the Sentinel was masked off for 4:3.

I think those sets are very much underrated, the one restored 7" Sentinel I have seen performed better than any other 7" set I have seen before or since.

The same basic signal chassis was used with good results in sets of up to 16".

Wow that went higher than I expected. Did anyone here get it?

Ho-Lee Chit !!
