RCA PFR100 Projection set

[andy]

That's an interesting set. I didn't know RCA sold a front projection set. What year is it from? Did RCA really make it? I repaired an RCA rear projection from about 1983 that was actually built by Hitachi. I assumed it was one of thier first, but yours looks older. I'm wondering if RCA made projections sets and then stopped for a few years for some reason.

I used to have a Sears (made by Sanyo) like that when I was in high school. It had a nice picture for its age and looked really unusual. It was a trash pick up from the back of a repair shop. It had a bad HOT and a few bad parts in the power supply from someone replacing the fuse with a bigger one. I sold it a few years later when I got a rear projection from the same repair shop. I'd probably bring another one home if I could just for the retro look.
