Fleetwood

Curbside find today!Brought it home and it works good.It is It is a Fleetwood model #1C6247 made in Montreal,Canada.Opened up the back and appears the crt was replaced in 1985.Colour looks good and sharp.The top is a little marked up but overall in good shape.Anyone know anything about "Fleetwoods"? What year is this guy?

Fleetwood was the trade name Conrac (maker of broadcast monitors) sold TV chassis under for custom installation...seemed like these were 50's era sets. Am not sure if this Fleetwood color set is related to Conrac.

Nice looking set! I'm unsure of the year, but has to be at least mid 70's. I see it's a hybrid, with a tripler in there.

Wow, I didn't even know there was such a thing as a Canadian-made TV... Does it run on Labatt's? I'm always interested in seeing non-RCA and Zenith designs, thanks for the pics.

Also looks like you might have some color purity issues... Either that, or half of that golf course gets more water than the other!
