Latest Trash Day Finds

Today was a good day. I found three items in good shape. They are-
Philips Model VS22805T 12" B/W security monitor (manufactured Feb. 1996)
Sony SVT-L200 VCR. This is a unit for recording input from security cameras.
And at last...
J.C. Penny AccuScan 13" color t.v. Model 685-2094L (manufactured Jul. 1986).
Does anyone know what company made the J.C. Penny set?
BTW, All of these are in good working condition..

RCA made some sets for JC Penny. Wells-Gardner, NEC, Samsung, and Toshiba also made sets for them over the years. A picture of the chassis would be a big help.

I can't take any pics right now. I need to buy a digital camera someday, I guess.

Nice Finds! As for your JC Penney's set.. if it has Accu anywhere on the logo, it has GOT to be RCA.

Thanks. I was thinking it might be RCA, but wasn't really sure. This little set sure works great! I was watching Star Trek on it shortly after I got it home this afternoon and it has a nice sharp picture and great color. It's in good cosmetic shape as well. Someone took good care of it. I had the Sony hooked up to the Philips monitor and I can play tapes from my collection on it
as well as the security tapes which IIRC are recorded at 1/2 the speed of the
slowest speed on home machines. The monitor has a slight burn-in on the screen since it apparently was used with only one camera. I may be able to reduce that by leaving it on with the brightness all the way up for a little while. My wife was not impressed with all this, though. I got the usual hard looks from her as I brought it all in, but that goes with the territory, I guess.
