Thanks for the kind words guys! I really enjoy documenting these sets and sharing them with fellow collectors. My earliest memories and beginnings in TV go back to the 4-tube hybrids which is why I have a particular interest in them.

Zeno; thanks for sharing that link about Pemcor. Reading that document is a great example of seeing how rapidly things were changing by the early 70's and how one company fell apart. So many others had a similar fate, but sadly most of those stories are long forgotten and/or never even known about by most. The huge industry just silently disappeared, especially in Chicago which was home to so many different component manufacturers as well as the equipment makers.

Every EIA number found in these old sets represent a company and the people who worked there. All have a story waiting to be rediscovered, just like that deflection yoke.
