A few more European sets.

[AndrewM]

I was fortunate to get hold of several old TV's just weeks before they were due to be thrown out. I discovered them while searching for parts for some of my other old sets. They all came from a TV repair business which is in the process of having a big clear out of their old CRT TV's and parts. Sadly, I have missed out on rescuing some extremely rare Australian sets from the mid 70's and a lot of parts that have already ended up in the bin.

Amongst the rescued sets are these rarely seen 1975 model Blaupunkts and Siemens sets. They all share a common chassis the only difference being appearance and features. Two of these sets have ultrasonic remote control but I don't have the remotes for them.

I may have the names and models mixed up as the backs for the sets have been swapped about at some time.
This first set is a Blaupunkt Manila. Tuning is via the touch sensitive numbers on the control panel.



This next set is a Blaupunkt Colorado, a top of the line set with remote control. This set has a very modern look to it despite being 34 years old.



The next two sets are the Siemens versions models FC396 and FC399






A view of the chassis:
