Identify this TV?
Hi all.
I've been watching eBay over the years for a copy of my family's childhood TV. Haven't seen one yet. I was particularly inspired by fellow AK'er Bill Cahill's story on the B-W forum, who recently found his set after a long search, and how excited he's been during the process of obtaining it. Very cool. I was reading the recent Color TV posts and saw the roundie that 3GunColor used to fix an outage, and had a warm flashback -- his set is as close as I've seen in a long time (although still not exactly it -- his has different legs and no curved supporting brace between the front two). Two photos attached, shot around 1966, show my family's set. Although both shots obscure the right side of the front, to my memory, it's identical to the one in the 3GunColor post -- same lower-right metal door that opens up to 8 colored knobs, with the legend for each knob printed on the inside face of the metal door. Combination VHF and UHF channel knob up high, combination on-off pull switch and volume control under that. I think it was already a few years old in the photos, so maybe it was a 1963 or 1964(?). The brat shooting a toy gun would be me. I thought I'd ask the experts here to positively ID the TV, and maybe even see if anybody knows of one still out there. Any thoughts? Thanks! - Kirk |
