nice, want to sell it?

I want its older brother, a CT-772(?) from c. 1969-71 or so...

haha. Sorry I just got it today ! Let me enjoy it for a while.

Awe I was hoping for some inside pics.

I heard they are delta-guns, and wanted to know if it's true.

Very nice catch. Havnt seen one since the Gipper was CIC.
Quite rare & not cheap $$ new.
I think Panny made the best under 13" sets. Good quality,
nice pix, easy to work on if you remember the red screws......

Thanks for the memories.

Nice l'il set ! Ya done GOOD...(grin)

Looks like an old-style Trinitron CRT.

More reliable than trinitrons, but trinis have better picture quality.

Love it! What a great little set. Lucky!

Rare set ! Most of these were used as portables, outdoors, on boats, in cars etc etc.
Not many survived !

updated pics

I just picked up one of these sets. Any hints for the pinout of the power connector?
