Here's a TV at an upcoming estate sale. Kinda like it. It's one of those types of sets that seems to be sitting in the corner of every basement in every estate sale. Anyone recognize it?
GE Pacer model.
Very low-end, but interesting design.
Series string, but had an auto-transformer to step up the B+ to around 200 volts. It had a strange-for-the-time, 10 plate selenium rectifier, only available at the GE distributor. I don't remember if there was enough room to use two six plate rectifiers in series.
That design was before silicon rectifiers became available.
