Hitachi Color Console

[Charlie]

Many of us get emails from people wanting to know info about a particular set, or what it's worth (which usually turns out to be not much if any).

Today, I got an interesting photo from a lady asking those questions. At first, I did not know what brand the set was in the photo, but I kinda thought it was a store brand like Truetone or Airline. It looked like early-70's... I notice the UHF tuner appears to be continous.

Later, I found out the set was a Hitachi. I don't think those are very common... although I'm sure a few people had them.

The only other "early" large Hitachi I've seen was the roundie set that was posted here several years ago, but that photo was lost after the "big switch" I'm sure. I thought I had kept a copy of that set, but can't find it.

This 70's Hitachi is kinda interesting... only because it's something you don't see very often. She says it works well. It would be interesting to see the guts.
