Philips roundie!
 

Hi you all

have you ever seen one of these?

This is the 1964 Philips 21KX100A, chassis K4, probably the only European round color set that was actually available for the public to buy

This was actually a hybrid set, as it had a tube NTSC chassis and a solid state PAL converter

That entire site is just incredible. Compared to American TVs, lots of those Euro sets look quite strange to my eyes.
