May I suggest that you start a Thread just for that set, we'd like to see it but not in a thread about Admirals.

That TV is in the collection of Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) located in Federation Square, Flinders Street, Melbourne.

It was an easy restoration and this 7-inch TV performs very well given its simple design. This may inspire me to dig out the 24C15 console that's waiting for restoration in the back of my shop.

Is the picture shown on the screen a clip from the movie " Psycho".

OK, a big Thanks! I will go by there when I come back over in November. Since my daughter and son-in-law work at MV, I am in downtown Melbourne all of the time. Been in the Flinders St train station many times whilst using the Metro and trams.

Was she driving the '58 Ford?
I only have a copy of that movie, taken from the broadcast of the Movie.
After thinking about it, she must've had the '58 Ford allready!

IIRC it was a '57. The '58 had the new-fangled quad headlights.
How many of y'all remember Tom McCahill's column in Mechanix Illustrated? His comment on the new headlights was "two good headlights are better than four lousy ones."

my vm 950 record player plays 2 seconds, then makes a loud click then drops the next record etc.

Please post about this problem in the phonograph forum where you already have a thread about the changer. Not all over the place. Thank you.

eric h closed my thread POST THOSE TUBE TVS!

[zenithfan1]

It's because you keep posting about off topic stuff in the wrong places. I'm about having fun and joking around but all that aside, you really have to listen to what he says. Please post stuff in the right spot. Thank you.
