Picked these up yesterday from my good friend Danny in Atlanta. Sets include a 1969 23" tin can set with the 16Z7C50, an 18" tin can set from the same year with the 16Z7C19, a remote control 19" System 3 from 1979, a 19" CCII from 1977, and a 17" CCII from 1977. Pictures to come. They haven't been unloaded yet, and my back is killing me.

Great catch! Always nice to see sets being saved.

More pix. Also got the tube caddy from the swap meet for $35.

years ago i bought my son that exact 17 inch set from a used furniture store.`back around 1980 or so,paid 40.00 and it was by far,the best picture and performer we ve ever had.that set is still in operation today.much more than my son!

Sweet find! Love the LeSabre too!

If he gave you any more you would have needed a Roadmaster.
Well it was a good round-up.

And YES ! the 17" set had the best pix of all the CC2 sets.
The 18" can be doggy & tube hungry but usually a good pix.

You guys were right about this Chromacolor II. The picture blew me away. Super bright and crisp, definitely took me by surprise.

these sets may have produced the finest color picture of any set produced at the time.

I agree. It's a keeper alright. Here it is up next to my Trinitron and CTC-31.

Stands up to that MUCH newer Wega & easier on the eyes.
To think in the 70's some customers wouldnt buy "junk
American TV's" Go figure.

I've been watching the 17" set daily, and it started exhibiting symptoms of dirty module connections. The brightness level is very flickery. It takes about two episodes of The Simpsons before it finally starts to calm down and act normal. I took all the modules out a few days ago and sprayed cleaner on the contacts, but it didn't do any good.

A bicentennial 1976 tube caddy to boot. How sweet it is. Nice finds. Your RCA has really nice red compared to the other 2.

Had the same flickering with my Heathkit. Clean all the controls.

I have one out of 4 Roku players that will actually work with a modulator on my old sets. All of the others have some sort of color sync issue when I try to push them through a modulator.

People always seem to get confused on how I'm making this work. Especially on the facebook vintage TV groups. It's an Express+ model being run through my el cheapo Radioshack RF modulator. I've never noticed any color sync issues.

I've noticed the same problem with most Roku boxes. They must have something non-standard about the chroma signal.

Or, there's some processing on the input of the RF modulator...

I've been wondering the same thing. I have one Roku that will sync color properly. Any other Roku I have ever tried seems to have trouble with RF modulators in general, as I have tried several. It always come back to the Roku that's connected. Strange thing is if I run a Roku to the composite input on a TV it works fine, but the same Roku on a modulator won't. Could this be a grounding type issue I wonder?
