Antique TV?!
http://saskatoon.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and...AdIdZ138959771
The word Antique seems to describe anything over 20 years old, apparently.

It's a Hitachi CT2649 from........1984! Discrete MTS Stereo (11 ICs on the MTS board!) - and the remote stores in the little tray at the upper right, to the right of the controls.
It's old enough to vote....but not antique. If someone grabs it and needs the manual (TIFF format), PM me. Cheers,

I have a couple of antique ATSC tuners, from all the way back in the year 2000.

Hey, so that must have been a pricey set when new! Probably a pain to move it though, which means it probably won't be saved.

But then again, people had that attitude in the '70s when pitching out their Magnavox, RCA Victor, Electrohome, Fleetwood, etc. colour roundies, and look at how sought after those are these days. But it might not be as much of a pain in the ass to move as it looks. Some consoles are lighter than you think. The huge ass 27 inch 1985 Sears console we have in our living room was a breeze to move. I also got it for free from this same website. And the inside... it may be a giant ass console, but it has a tiny little chassis... like someone took a 13 incher, stuck it in a huge cabinet and put a giant mega CRT in it. Some people might agree with me on this one, but I think some of these huge consoles should have shelving in the sides. So much wasted space going on there. Maybe put some sort of magnetic shield in there so you can store VHS tapes in it. I'm 6' tall and 160 Lb, and I bet I can fit inside it, even with all the shit still in it.

Yeah but I bet the MPX decoder circuitry rarely went bad due to the lack of high voltages and high heat levels in that part of the set, unless the PSU crapped out and there was an overvoltage situation. AKA, find out what minor this-and-thats it has....

I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would call any CRT TV antique.

How rare is it? I did not know that Hitachi ever made console tv's.

Hitachi did indeed make console sets. Years ago I fixed a 1966 21" (tube type) console and it had beautiful color!!
