i like the 600 best esp. the Steyr-Puch austrian Licensed versions, and the fantastic Multipla 600

There weren't many Multiplas ever brought to America, I only remember seeing a couple back when I was a kid. 600s were fairly rare, too-but you DID see them. 500s ? I don't think Fiat ever bothered to send any over here. Fiat did NOT have a good reputation over here-the cars were not robust or powerful enuff to lock horns w/our huge V-8 powered tanks...

Fiat did also sell the 1100 in the US in the late 50s-early 60s, and later also the 124, 125, 128, 132, 130, 131 (renamed Brava in the US) and the Ritmo (renamed Strada)

Apparently, they also briefly exported the small 127 to the US after the 1973 oil crisis.

schematic diagram

Hi Gianni, I might have the schematic for your tv. Please let me know the model number. get a free email (i.e. from hotmail...) and if you want to contact me please use my email address you already have instead of write me messages here.
Thanks
Marco

Hi Sandy! The CT 100 came from an excellent sir named Harry Potter...sorry, Poster that really took care to pack it as everyone shipping a tv should do to avoid to the buyer the unpleasant pleasure of getting a pile of smashed wood and broken glasses (which already happened to me a couple of times... ). Speaking about that I would really love to own a Zenith space command, roundie console but no one I contacted wants to bother with packing and shipping issues of such a huge thing. Is there anybody out there willing to help a not so young guy get the set of his dreams? I would so much sitting in front of an early Zenith space command color console and watch Bewitched for hours...

Fiat still has not a good reputation over here too!!! We at work have two new Panda... I can't count the problems with the electric components particularly with the steering servo drive... The funny thing is they are not so cheap to buy as one might expect. There are far better Korean and Japanese cars you can have for less than a Fiat

...<grin>... Over here, "Smart-Alecks" & "Wiseguys" said "Fiat" stood for "Fix It Again, Tony"....Hehehehehehe...Of course, the same people said "Ford" stood for "Found on the Road, Dead" or "F---in' Over-Rated Disaster"...The Ford people said it stood for "First On Race Day"...

Talking F.i.a.t.

Good night to you all!

I am alive but WHAT A NIGHT!
There is a mosquito-disinfestation and i can't sleep with closed windows!

Coming soon some shots of my Irradio TV (from a special location),
in the meantime, enjoy two schematics of Automatic Gain Control of some Irradio sets from the 50's (sorry, not mine); but how i can make the thumbnails, please?

Ah, Sandy G., Francesco's motto is:
"Fermati, imbecille: abbiamo tamponato!"

Little brother

Here two Automatic Gain Control schematics from four Irradio TVs from 50s:
- 22T56,
- 22T66 and
- 17T63
are 3 normal family sets and
- 17T65
is I.M.H.O (=in my HOLY opinion) the black and white brother of Portacolor:
it is a 12 tubes (+ cathode ray tube) set and its tuner has only a PCF80 tube (The triode as R.F. amplifier and the pentode as a factotum converter).

Automatic Gain Control of 22T56 , 22T66 and 17T63 is complicated, as you can see, but it AND the Automatic Gain Control of 17T65 are NOT keyed.

Even MINE Irradio set has a NOT keyed Automatic Gain Control.

Have you some questions/comments?

Mister Horseman, do you like my posts?
