Rob,

I'll try to post a shot of my 1964 Packard Bell color TV. It's surplus from an old Appliance store in Detroit, and has never even been turned on. In fact it still has the four banners attached to the front of the screen: INSTANT COLOR PURITY, etc.

The silly thing is, it's impossible to watch the set through the plastic banners, but it's so neat that they are still intact after almost 40 years that I don't want to remove them. The instruction manual and little UHF antenna are still neatly stapled to the back of the set in the little plastic bag.

This thing is NEW.

It's also silly for me to have a set I can't even watch, but I couldn't resist it.
