1976 Quasar found today...

[Carmine]

Today's estate find... A 1976 Quasar 19" remote set.



Satellite Control??? Is that a rip-off of Space Command or what!?!







Plopped it in my garage, right next to my Zenith Chromacolor set, of course a comparison was in order...



To be fair, the Zenith is on a roof antenna, and for some reason the user controls won't adjust this Quasar. I've checked all over for some kind of "anti-tamper" setting and can't find it! Not behind the door, not on the back... What gives? Just one unlabled pot on the back, at the top.







Since I couldn't adjust this set, I tried to get the Zenith to look at much like the Quasar as I could, but the reds were still more "red" on the Zenith, although I was surprised at the sharpness of the Quasar set. I think this Zenith has pretty long hours, so that might be affecting sharpness... Maybe those Chromacolor CRTs do degrade eventually...

More shots of the Quasar. BTW, the remote works fine. If I could adjust the user controls, the pictures would be much better in these cell phone pictures.
