1969 Wards Ad--Roundie Color Set

[wkand]

Greatpost! I recall another AK'er posting an ad for another roundie at approximaly the same time for about $250, so there was quite a range of proces that late in the roundie game. I recall another Sears ad for $450 for a roundie in 1969.

That sure is a cheapy look'in set. I think it would be great to have one today but back then I would have feared it would be too cheaply made to bother with.
It looks like it doesn't have UHF but I guess it must somewhere in those cheapy look'in controls.
The CRT frame looks almost identical to part of the frame on the RCA's CTC-15 series.

I don't care for the legs on it. I would see if the legs would unscrew and sit it on a nice console or cabinet as a table TV. It has that space age look to it. Maybe it was designed to celebrate the 1969 moon landing

It's probably an Admiral or Westinghouse set - both made sets for Monkey Wards. The model number can be deciphered from the catalog number, I believe. Anybody have a Sams Index at hand?
