The 1960 Arkay Fantasia...
 

Oh my... :scratch2:

Looks like a shameless knockoff of the 1958 Kuba Comet to me:

Kuba was German,..Arkay was built in Brooklyn,NY

I can picture a modern version of this with an HDTV 60 inch flatpanel.

Looks like the TV might be a Zenith Space Command.

Looks like a "Brooklynized" Kuba Komet to me!

TV looks like a Zenith, tape recorder looks like a Voice Of Music can't tell what the other components are, though. I wouldn't mind having one in my living room!

Who has ever owned an Arkay besides me?

I own several Arkay radio's but was unaware they made tv sets.

I'm building a 1964'Arkay Tv kit as we speak23"inch model

I know this is a very old thread but somebody has any info about where to find a Kuba Fantasia in NYC or have in display any?> I am working in a project about it.

Odds are none exist anymore. If one was in collector hands I'm sure there would be a thread with pictures of it that were taken more recently than the 50's....

I dreamt I had a Komet, but came home one night w/a snootful of Rum tum Tiddley um tum, got into a fight w/the damthing,& ended up skewered on one of its Flying Buttresses...

I have never seen an Arkay Fantasia. I suspect that very few were sold, and perhaps none survive, as Tom C suggests. Or, possibly that single photo just shows a factory "concept" set that never made it to the retail market.

There is no such thing as a "Kuba Fantasia." The Kuba set is called a Komet. The ETF museum in Ohio has a Kuba Komet, which you can see at this web page:

Thank you everyone for the comments and info.

Phil do you suggest that there is no evidence that Arkay built something similar to a Kuba Comet model?

Provably you are right thats why It is hard to find information about it.

Thank you again and have a great weekend everyone.
