Kuba Komet
 

Any Kuba Komet owners out thee?
I am restoring one and could use some information from someone with a complete unit. I have specific questions to ask,
Thanks!

I remember reading about the Kuba Komet here I think.......or maybe it was an even rarer US made clone of one. Either way somebody here has to know.

3 Predictas, a Halolight, and a Komet, That's on helluva TV collection going there :thmbsp:

Still scared to death of these things. I can see myself getting one, celebrating that nite by going out & getting loaded on Old Rotgut, coming home, get into a fight w/it, tripping & impaling myself on one of its spikes.... Like the story of the unfortunate kid in spring 1959 who was running to catch a line drive in a Little League game & SKEWERED himself on the fin of a shiny new '59 Caddy... As Penn Jillette puts it- "Bullshit...."

Hi,
I am in Germany and I own a 1959/60-21" model with radio, record player and tape recorder.
If you still need help after this long time please let me know.
I did re-imported my set from the states.

ETF in Hilliard has one. You might reach out to Steve McVoy with some of your questions. Steve is on the forum.

I came across this listing for the Komet Goldfilter, and thought you fellas would get a kick out of seeing how many Deutsche Marks it cost when new.......almost 3,000 DM! That was around $755-$800 USD in 1961. A very pricey set for the day!

Biggest thing I thought about w/the Komet was why the Mfger didn't try to big-deal RCA & license a COLOR version... Now, THAT woulda been Somethin', indeed ! We were tryin' to Woo the West Germans as hard as possible to keep them out of the Rooskies' orbit, "Space" stuff was BIG rhen, what woulda been more "Spacey" than a COLOR Komet ?!?... Yeah, I know, I'm Crazy.. But ya gotta think, "What If....?!?"

That is one helluva collection indeed!
