Here is yet another one of the TV's from SC - A '73 Teledyne 14" hybrid color portable in a metal case that was made in Japan. It works; but, has some sort of RF interference, has touchy vertical sync, and needs some color set-up and probably some new caps. I really don't know who actually built this set. The tubes are NEC branded; so, I'm going to guess that it was built by NEC or, possibly, Mitsubishi. Doesn't really look like a Panasonic chassis.
Actually, we had a Truetone color portable that used this same chassis. It was in a black metal cabinet with a different control layout. That one, as well, always had some sort of vertical problem. Around '87, it was replaced by a new 13" Emerson and my Dad tried to have the old set fixed; but, no one would touch it b/c it was a tube set. When the last shop turned him down, he told them to throw it away because he was tired of lugging it around.
Oh, I know I said this was a portable set; but, I meant to call it a luggable set.
