Lots of detailed pics in this auction including the guts.
I would not want to work on this thing! :no:

I second that , it looks tough to service , that is the strangest tv I've seen yet . And sereious injury could result if you stumbled into it .

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?

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.

i hate that thing, that's one i wouldn't mind turning into a fish tank

Idea!
 

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

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!"

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 .

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.

Exactly
 

$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...

If I was going to spend that much money , I would rather invest it in a RCA 621 TS :yes:

with EyeWitness picture synchroniser? :D

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.

bonfire, anyone?

Looks like a Zenith to me....

Well, there are just a dozen surviving kuba komets in the world, it's definitely something worth restoring...

still 0 bids on this fine unit only a few hours left .
