An odd little Bradford on eBay
 
1 Attachment(s)
This is a neat looking Bradford. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-1970s-Ch...item2eb6011116

The screen seems to angle up like they were trying to give it a "Brionvega Algol" look.

I had a Bradford in the 70's, it was just an ugly 60's suitcase model though, it worked well.

I know, I just posted it to compare with the one on eBay.

I just added a picture of the eBay set to make it more clear what I was trying to say.

That's pretty snazzy for W.T.Grant! Probably the most modern looking Bradford product I've seen.

I've only run across one Bradford TV, about two weeks ago. It was in a pile of garbage of a gutted house and partially crushed. It was a 23" color combo with thumbwheel controls in the lower part of the crt bezel. I'd guess it was from around 1970 and must have migrated here because I don't recall any Grant's stores in this area. I wasn't going to dig though a wet pile of moldy crap to investigate any further. :(

That Bradford combo was probably built by Wells-Gardner. It will have a tube type modular TV chassis.
