RARE-1972 Rogers-Majestic color TV
 
Here's the other 2 TV's I got today-Both CANADIAN made TVs
RARE-1972 Rogers-Majestic 23-inch color console
It's a hybrid-both tubes and solid-state devices.
Also-sweeet!
A circa 1977 Electrohome-yes, an Electrohome
19 inch console-all solid state devices in chassis.
French Provicial style cabinet.
Also picking up a rare 23-inch Westinghouse color console-
late 1960s as well in the new year as well:-)

What do you mean "Yes, an Electrohome"? Half the TVs I've ever owned were Electrohome. In fact my main non-HD TV right now is a 1981 electrohome, great picture! And the basement set is a 1976 model. Also Electrohome were THE sets to use around here for broadcast and professional work. And they made the first two-piece projection sets sold in Canada.

Oh, and I used to work at Electrohome, before Mitsubishi started making their sets.

I thought that all Electrohome TV sets from about 1973 onwards were Asian
built, first by JVC. I mean consumer direct view CRT sets of course, not the
projection units.

Electrohome was big in Canada in the '60s and '70s. They touted their Deilcraft cabinetry and it really was very nice. I never heard much bad about their electronics either. Too bad they couldn't compete once the cheap Asian stuff started taking over.
