Watching two movies...One being "Twister" and the other being "8 Mile", I noticed both have an old TV in them. I've attached pics. Can anyone identify what brand and model they are?
Thanks.
Thanks.

View Full Version : What TV's are these? Dawg 12-29-2016, 08:14 PM Watching two movies...One being "Twister" and the other being "8 Mile", I noticed both have an old TV in them. I've attached pics.

Electronic M 12-29-2016, 08:43 PM First is definitely early 60's zenith. The roundy in the second pic looks like a truetone...IIRC I've seen it's sam's before...I'm amazed to see a color photo of that set I don't think I've seen one for sale or in a collector's hands since I got into TVs. zenithfan1 12-29-2016, 08:46 PM The first is a 1963 Zenith black and white with a superimposed picture. The second is a 1965ish color roundie but that dial is throwing me off. Never seen that before, may be modified as a prop set maybe? The bezel looks RCA inspired but I don't think it's an RCA set. zenithfan1 12-29-2016, 08:48 PM First is definitely early 60's zenith.

So the control panel is original? Looks weird lol SpaceAge 12-29-2016, 09:39 PM Here's a truetone in collector hands: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z8lrtnG8Fls Dawg 01-01-2017, 10:09 AM Thanks for the responses I did a search on "1963 Zenith black and white". I came across this. It's a Zenith model K2735-2. It looks very similar to the TV as seen in the farmhouse in the opening of "Twister". Pics were source from an "end of the line" YouTube clip... https://youtu.be/7QiRXT8ZUrE Carmine 01-07-2017, 05:31 AM Huh, perhaps a reason to watch either of those stinkers.* Too be fair, I have seen Twister. All the characters were so unlikable I was rooting for the Tornado. Live in Detroit, never saw 8 Mile, but from what I hear of it (and what I know of M&M) I would root for the Tornado in that one also. Electronic M 01-07-2017, 10:04 AM :lmao: :lmao: I may have seen twister when my odometer was in the single digits, but frankly barely remember anything...I might root for the storm too in both films. Never seen 8 mile...probably never will. consoleguy67 01-07-2017, 01:12 PM 8 Mile. Isn't that how long M&M's career lasted? |
