Wow- I didn't know about the slider- that's cool! Thank you for the confirmation on the date of manufacture.
I would be much indebted to you if I could get a copy of the owners manual. I'll send you a PM with my address.

Jason,

Here's another ad. I believe your "Waldorf" model, if I read it correctly, is in the bottom left. Pricey set in 1950's dollars.

My "Temp 2":

[Telecolor 3007]

Another pic from the back; a guy who helped me to carry the set took these pictures with a cell phone on the day that I picked up the set (March the 26th) - the picture was taken in the front of the aparatments block where the guy from I bought the set lives.

Well, one of the capacitors which filtred the anodic current blow up (after this the lines oscilator stoped working); I don't know how to repayr a set, an the teenager guy who look at it dind't found the problem (I think it's a poor contact, or a small capacitaor or ar a rezistor that it's brocken); some one will have a look at the set in the next days.
I found an unsed lines final output tube (G-807), but it's quite expensive.
In 1956 Sovites made rectangular pictures tube too! I don't think the picture tube is the original one; on it apears 19 Apr. 1967 (and on betwen the coils and the C.R.T.'s neck it' s a pice of paper). And the end of the C.R.T. the component that get the wires in the pins falled (on of the wires that got out form the neck got brocken 2 times). It's almast imposible to find an 40LK1B C.R.T. in Romania - people trhou them - a woman throu 3!!! "Temp" 2.
I hope I will make the set working in the next few days;

I hope you get it working. Maybe , when it works you could post a photo of it working with the TV show "Get Smart" playing. That show had a funny representation of the KGB they were code-named "KAOS". Don Adams is great in that show. I want to get that show on DVD. Remember when they have to talk secretly and those clear domes come down on thier heads?

Here's a photoshopped preview of Max Smart of "Get Smart" using his secret shoe phone on that Russian TV. An early version of the modern cell phone...
