Kuba Comet on the 'Bay
 

Looks pretty clean and appears to have it's original TV.

Something about that first photo made me think of this. While I don't care for the design, I think it would look neat in a converted attic with knee walls. It would sort of nestle right in.

yeah. Saw it. Pretty clean, but, not my cup 'o tea.

I think it looks awesome. Way cool.

Kool Kool Komet
 

Every time I see a Kuba Komet, I faintly hear the theme song from the Jetsons playing somewhere in the recesses of my mind.

Meet George Jetson.
His Boy Elroy.
Daughter Judy.
Jane his wife.

Too weird for me. It belongs in one of those strange flat-roof, all-glass houses with chrome kitchen cabinets, purple glitter ceilings and bamboo wood doors in the Hollywood Hills. And it can please stay there, where I don't have to see it. But as a TV collector, I admit it's rare.

Still think they shoulda put a color roundie in 'em...At least for the ones for N. America...THAT woulda been something...Color TV was still pretty much "Out there" when these things were made,& that fact, coupled w/the "Out there" styling these guys had, they MIGHT have had a hit on their hands w/well-heeled "Avant-Guard" types...

I want it. I love oddball stuff.

I don't think it's too weird, however, I know it's way too freakin big!! It would be neat to have... if you had a really big room to put it it. :)

You can see one in the flesh at the ETF museum. They really do need a big space to display properly. I saw photos of one crammed into a little apartment, and it looked absurd.

It's a monster, for sure.....

This guy (or a friend) offered to sell this set to me, for a 'neighbor' back in 2006. I had told them it was worth about $2,000-$3,000 back then...but they saw a report that an overpriced Auction Gallery got about $7,000 for one in 2001, so he decided it was well worth that price (good luck!). It'll be interesting to see where they put the Reserve price!

These are big and interesting, but at least 2 or 3 have turned up on ebay in the past few years, and I know of several more in Museums, so they're much more common then it would appear. If anyone here gets it, just bring a chain saw when you pick it up, to make it fit into a van easier ... ;)

They can borrow mine... And I'll even throw in a 70-horsepower Diesel tree chipper to finish the work :thmbsp:

There is a house in a little town called Church Hill near here that NEEDS this thaing...Mostly glass & brick, & the "walls" are wider at the top than at the bottom...the roof is "backwards"-it slopes inward towards the middle, & the eaves are higher than the center..The whole thing screams "Googie !", & also needs a late '50s finmobile-Prolly one of Virgil Exner's heroic Imperials-sittin' in front of it...Strangely enuff, the place is quite attractive...

I do think they look kind of cool, but it does seem kind of disappointing they just stuck a 21" b/w set in there. My ctc-10 (in a very plain looking cabinet by comparison) seems so much more exciting with color and that remote with the motor that actually turns the color, volume, and tint controls. I would have liked to see the Komet have a remote that also rotated the top of the set...
