I've ranted about this set before here, but... My dad got hoodwinked into buying a Sears color mini-console about 1964 or '65... It was AWFUL ! He wisely bought the service contract w/it, Sears lost BIG money on that one. It was some weird screen size, 17-18" or somesuch, not quite a roundie, but not really "square", either. It was a Japanese-made set, prolly Toshiba, but it was before the Japanese had figgered out Quality Control. We sold it after the Porta-Colors came out, got one of those, it was a trouper, on 18/7, don't think it skipped a beat, til we replaced it w/a largish Trinitron about '72 or '73. The only one of those Sears hermaphrodites I've ever seen, Sonny Clutter had a restored one for sale a year or 2 back. They must have about ALL been POS, I wouldn't think many have survived. I'd still like to have one, kinda the old "moth-to-a-flame" business, I guess...
