:scratch2: Something tells me I'd be strangely inclined to want to play nothing but "The Jetsons" episodes on it ....... :D

Is it for snail? :D

Nice set. Hey, it's got a handle on top, must be portable. Don't mind those legs. Or that 60 pounds... :)

Looks like it was a portable with an optional base/speaker...hence the "Dualette" moniker.

Wow! That is in my top 3 "left nut" sets! It looks great.

Details please!

Boy that's ugly. Which makes it very collectable.

Pardon me....the word is "fugly"... :D

I think that set is extremely cool on that rare matching stand. An iconic piece of kitchy "space-age" styling. I actually had one, sans the stand, for one day and sold it. The cosmetics were nice, but the chassis was roached. I must say, it's about as cool in person as a Philco Predicta.
I believe the set in the photo is from the Early Television Museum.

Yes, no wonder the photo looks familiar:

I got a Salmon one sans stand and an antenna rod...They are actually fairly light being a series string set with most of the electronics on a single fairly servicable PCB, and minimal chassis metal...They are cool sets inside and out. IIRC the CRT neck is recessed behind the chassis structure making it nearly impossible to neck. I doubt the combined weight of the chassis/cabinet beats the weight of the CRT so it is one of the most portable 17" sets I've ever owned... One day I gotta find another color set with the stand...salmon pink ain't exactly my favorite color.

The color is actually "Coral ". I have a Zenith portable radio that color and is the most valuable one of the group. :thmbsp:
