Am I missing something here?
 

Saw this no-name color set on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Colo...&_qi=RTM839990

Is this some sort of 'sleeper' set, or just another example of a person that has no idea what things are worth? The set, to me, looks like some funky crossbreed of an RCA XL-100 set and something else.

Methinks he's Smoakin' Doap..

I must be missing it too.

A mouseover reveals ALL it says on front is "color TV"

I'm not at all good at this yet....but with no other pics, I really DO just see "generic", and old enough to be a VHF and UHF knobby. Oddly, it does lack ANY other knobs on front...not even a volume.

Is that "red-white-green-white-blue" a logo of any sort?

Korean made AOC I think. My grandparents had one that looked exactly like that. Thats my best guess,

I'm assuming the logo Aibo is referring to is a generic 'COLOR' emblem, to show the set is a color TV. The white you're seeing is likely reflection on a silver part of the logo. :3

I'd side with Sandy here...methinks someone is clueless... :D

I can't really make fun of "clueless"

Most of my "trashpicked" or "swap meet" sets, I had NO clue what they were. I STILL haven't found a single reference to the old Quasar 9" "hard luck" TV I put back together a couple months ago.

It wasn't until I came on HERE that I started being interested in more than "looks cool" little old B/W sets.

The Sony S8-301 was the very first set I was actually "educated" when I first saw it. If I hadn't seen Nelson's thread on his work on one.....I would have thought "cool..old Sony"...and not "OMG! THAT is the little Sony Nelson recapped!". I picked it up (after walking by it like four times)...KNOWING I had somewhere to go if I got stuck :-)

NO longer "clueless". I can't even watch the movie "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" without going "I wonder WHAT set that is the computer is watching?" (BTW...I STILL wanna know what set that was :-P )

No, the logo looks like red, green, blue (primary colors) spaced with white. Probably a make sold under multiple off brands, and the excess production sold even more off-brand with no brand name at all.

Yeah...to me looked "red-green-blue"....and made sense as in "red,green,blue" guns. The usual representation of color TV (think Trinitron). I just noticed they were seperated by what looked like white...and I not ever seen "that" as a logo.

And for the record....I think "primary" colors are actually red,blue,yellow. Just as a sidenote, I recently saw George Takei in some SILLY (you know..he's SILLY now) ad for I think Sharp, and some new picture technology that now DOES use a yellow pixel (LCD is not phosphor though). I don't remember if it was a plasma set (which then WOULD be a yellow phosphor)

I made a silly 'brain fart' mistake--I meant to say that the WHITE you are seeing is probably reflection off silver parts of the logo. The green is one of the three primary CRT colors (red, green, blue).
My original post has been edited. xD

I had a KTV set from the mid '80's that looked similar and it was actually a well built set for what it was. It was a working dumpster find.

Around '92-'93, I remember some "no name" knob tuned 13" color TV's for under $100. This was just before the CC mandate that ended up putting an end to knob-tuned TV's.

As far as his asking price, he has the decimal in the wrong place. $7.50 would be more like it.

I also say it looks like a Korean built set by either AOC or KTV, my first instinct said KTV.

that tv has been on ebay since last nov ,the price has change alot to everyone must not want to buy from a seller that backs out of a sell once somebody wins it

radiotvnut, I never really knew why knob TVs went away...now I have my answer! It would be difficult to receive/decode captions on a knob-tuned set.

They USED to make a converter/adapter that did that in the '80s, IIRC. But it was ugly and cumbersome from what I remember. I don't remember if it worked on knob tuned sets, anyone know for sure?

Sounds like something I'd like to own! :D
