I got it. It's an early model Chromacolor II with the mechanical remote -- space command "SC600Z" according to the history of space command remotes posted here a while back. Whatever paint or coating was used on the TV case (not the pedestal) has cracked badly and it would need to be removed and repainted if I ever wanted this set to look nice. Living in an apartment doesn't really give one space to do this kind of work, so I'll have to wait for a while. The reports of this set working were greatly exaggerated. When I turned it on first I got no picture, then after shaking the "chromatic" button I got an all blue picture, shaking it a bit more I got a good picture (as far as the color, but lacking in vert. size) for a few seconds, until it shut itself of. I was able to turn it on one more time, but it just shut itself off shortly, and now won't go on at all. However, the remote did work. This is going to be my first move into the exciting world of solid state television repair. I'm going to wait until I get a schematic before I do anything though. Its another sams I'm missing, I bought all these sams from an electronic parts store last winter which amounts to about 1000 out of the first 1500 folders, but lately all the new TVs I get are ones that I'm missing. Next weekend I'm going to have to go to the library and copy this one and the one for my CT15 and Philco roundie that I still haven't got.
