Smile Great set!

I had that set in a beautiful lowboy home entertainment center. It had the same front control panel as yours but was a full function remote with motors on the volume, color, and tint controls. I was a small 14 year old boy and lifted one side of it and thought I had lifted something average men would have trouble with. I loved that set for it's looks and sound, etc. It was "The Sebastian" HH-872 according to a brochure I have. Is HH a '68? I think the version I had was a '67(HG?). I changed the CRT and got everything working perfectly and a nieghborhood lady friend of mine, Veda Ford(formerly Veda Callahan), kept it til '92. I came back to find it in '99 only to see the huge rectangle it left in her carpet. She gave it to the Salvation Army in Saint Petersburg, Florida. It could still be around. It was in a dark wood Spanish Mediterranian style cabinet. A masterpiece, according to my brochure. However, after seeing the brochure I wish I could find "The Falkenburg" HH-868 which is a Contemporary Danish-style lowboy. I like that look the best, with it's surfboard-shaped top having a slate-colored inlay and Nordic-inspired doors. As the brochure reads: "Nordic-inspired center doors vie for interest with the wood louvers that mask the speaker area". Someday I hope to find one of the tall armoire style home entertainment center versions of the same system as shown in my brochure. I keep thinking that maybe some of these condos I live around may have one left. I hope so. If I figure this forum out better I will post a photo from the brochure.
