I've had a few Bang & Olufsen 29" swivel base table models (Hitachi CRT & chassis), and a '40s Ecko console round tube B&W (Great Britain). I worked on a multi-system Loewe 37" set not long ago. It belonged to an Iranian immigrant who bought it in Germany, he said. I also had a Sony 20" late 80s multi-system from Zimbabwe. It was shipped here by a missionary who thought it would work in the USA because it was multi-system and has NTSC... But it was NTSC 4.43 not 3.58 so no go. We used the CRT elsewhere and tossed the set after a failed run on eBay at $9.
Of all these, I liked the Bang & Olufsens best. Very tough to get the chassis out & apart for service
, but beautifully made. And the Hitachi chassis in my opinion is pretty reliable and easy to troubleshoot.
